Question

Brad can type 1260 words in 1/2 hour. What is brads average typing rate in words per minute?

Answer 1

42 words/min

Explanation:

We need to find a unit rate to answer the problem.

Brad types 1260 words in 30 minutes.

Divide 1260 (the # of words) by 30 (the duration of time).

`(words)/(minutes) =(1260)/(30) =(42)/(1) =42`

Brad should type 42 words per minute.
