Question

Katy works as a court reporter. She can type 27,000 words in two hours. Which of the following best represents Katy's rate in words per minute? *

Answer 1

225 wpm

Explanation:

Ok, I'm gonna solve it as I type this:

So you know that she types 27k words in two hours so you can divide it by 2 to get the words per hour. 27000 divided by 2 is equal to 13500 or also 13.5k.

Now you know the hours, you can divide that by 60 to get the words per minute since there are 60 words per hour.

You get 225 words. (That is a very fast speed lol I do 140)

So 225 words per minute.
