Question

Lucy can type 300 words in 5 minutes. How many words can Lucy type in 32 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

1920 words

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion, where x is the number of words Lucy can type in 32 minutes:

$\frac{300}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{32}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

5x = 9600

x = 1920

So, in 32 minutes, Lucy can type 1920 words
