Answer:

Lixin is the fastest typist

Explanation:

Amirah = 45

Lixin = 46

Shirley = 42

We divide the words by minutes which is basically Unit rate

So we take each person and divide by their words and minutes


(words)/(minutes)

ALWAYS when ur finding unit rate divide the buggest number by the smallest!
