Question

Tia types 66 words in 3 minutes. She wants to know how many words she can type in 5 and 10 minutes if she keeps the same rate.

Answer 1

110 words in 5 min, 220 words in 10 min

Explanation:

y = mx (there is no intercept because you can't type anything in 0 minutes)

66 = 3m

m = 22

y = 22x

5 minutes:

y = 22(5) = 110 words

10 minutes:

y = 22(10) = 220 words
