Paul can type 60 words per minute and Jennifer can type 80 words per minute. How does Paul's typing speed compare to Jennifer's?

Verified Answer :

Paul does not compare to Jennifer. Jennifer is supreme. 

nah but seriously a 60:80 when divided by 10 is 6:8. Divide that by 2 and its 3:4. Therefore Jennifer is 1/4 times faster or 20 words/per minute faster that Paul.

  • - You have: 60:80

    Solve:

    Divide each of these bight the HCD (20)


    After that you get: 3:4

    Now because you get the ratio of 3:4 it means than 
    1 second=3 words -Paul
    1 second=4 words -Jennifer's
