Question

If you type 800 words in 12 minutes, how many words per minute can you type?

Answer 1

67 words

Explanation:

Write it in form of ratio :

Words : Minutes

800: 12

Let x be the unknown variable.

Therefore we have :

800 : 12

x : 1

Cross multiple

12x = 800

Divide 12 on both sides to get

x = 66.6 rounded off to 67.
