Question

Jim can type 548 words in 12 minutes. Lucy can type 52 more words than jim in the same amount of time how many words can lucy type per minute?

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

We know that Lucy can type 52 more words than Jim (who types 548 words in 12 minutes).

`x= 548 +52`

`x=600`

Now that we know Lucy can type 600 words in 12 minutes, how many does she type per minute? To solve, we simply divide 600 by 12.

`x=(600)/(12)`

`x=50`

Lucy can types 50 words per minute.
