Answer:

Rate is 1.1333 words per second

Explanation:

We understand rating as frequency or speed of doing something per time (seconds mainly)


{ \green{ \tt{rate = (item \: quantity)/(time) }}} \\

Let's find rate in terms of seconds (words per second)


{ \rm{rate = (34 \: words)/( ((1)/(2) * 60) \: seconds) }} \\ \\ { \rm{rate = (34)/(30) }} \\ \\ { \rm{rate = 1.133 \: \: words \: per \: second}}
