For some unit of time:
number of words for kala --- 4x
number of words for rose ---- x
but x = 48, so kala typed 192 words
Since Lita typed twice as fast as kala,
lita typed 384 words
number of words for kala --- 4x
number of words for rose ---- x
but x = 48, so kala typed 192 words
Since Lita typed twice as fast as kala,
lita typed 384 words
