740.

Answer 2

740 words.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with unitary method.

∵ Bart can type the number of words in 8 minutes = 296

∴ Bart can type the number of words in 1 minute =
`(296)/(8)`

∴ Bart can type the number of words in 20 minutes =
`(296)/(8)* 20`

=
`(296* 20)/(8)`

=
`(5920)/(8)`

= 740 words

Bart can type 740 words in 20 minutes.
