Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Words : time

1 : 5

2 : 10

7 : 35

12 : 60

All these simplify to 1:5

Which means 1 word in 5 seconds

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Notice that the 5 is located under the column marked "seconds", so it must have the units of seconds; in other words, we have 5 seconds of something. That already eliminates A and B because they say that 5 is words.

However, let's verify. The 5 seconds corresponds to the 1, which is in the same row as the 5 but under the column "words typed". In other words, in 5 seconds, Casey typed 1 word.

Thus, C is the answer.

Hope this helps!
