Darcie can type 135 words in 3 minutes. At that rate, how many minutes would it take her to type 450 words?

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must figure out how many minutes this person can type 450 words. So we must set up a proportion such that

135 words / 3 minutes = 450 words / x minutes............Then we cross multiply such that

135x = 1350............Then divide 135 from both sides such that

x = 10 minutes

I hope this helped!
