Respuesta :

Solution:

Note that:

  • Typist = 1700 words = 1 hour 30 minutes

Simplify the equation to find the word per minute.

  • => 1700 words = 1 hour 30 minutes
  • => 1700 words = 90 minutes
  • => 170/9 words = 1 minute

The word per minute is 170/9 words per minute.

Typist = [tex]1700[/tex]

words = 1 hour [tex]30[/tex] minutes

Lets, find the word per minute :

[tex]1700[/tex] words = [tex]1hour 30[/tex] minutes

[tex]1700[/tex] words = [tex]90[/tex] minutes

[tex]\frac{170}{9}[/tex] words = [tex]1[/tex] minute

The word per minute is [tex]\frac{170}{9}[/tex] words per minute.
