Question

I can type 184 in 3 minutes, find the unit rate in words per minute. i do not get proportions and can you explain to me how you do it. work needed

Answer 1

I learned it this way: is over of = x over 1

Like, in a word problem, sometimes it says "Billy IS making $25 per hour, what is 25% OF his pay?"

In your case...

184 x
___= ___
3 1
(won't come out on Yahoo but its supposed to be 184 over 3 equals x over 1)

Now... you do cross multiplication
184 x 1 = 3x


Multiply what you can...
184 x 1 = 184
184 = 3x

To isolate the x, divide both side by 3...
184 = 3x
___ = __
3 3
(again, its supposed to be 184 over 3 equals 3x over 3)

184 / 3 = 61.33

x = 61.33 or 61 1/3 wpm

Good luck on your quiz(=

Answer 2

184 word in 3 min. in one would be 184 divided by 3. to find minutes per word do 3 divided by 184.

Answer 3

Answer 4

184 over 3(part over whole) x over 1(you want to find how many words per minute.then you do 1 times184(184)divided by 3 = 61.33333.....


just remember-the one under/over the variable is going to be multiplied by the 1 diagonal from it which is going 2 be divided by the only 1 left

Answer 5

184 per 3 minutes = X per 1 minute.
Cross multiply, and get 184=3X.
X=61.33
61 wpm.

Answer 6

Answer 7

words/minute
so
enter words 184
and divide by minutes 3
184/3 = 61.3 wpm (words per minute)
