Time (sec) 20 25 30 35 Words Typed 40 50 x 70 James can type 40 words in 20 seconds. How many words can James type in 30 seconds? (1 point) Responses 60 60 30 30 25 25 20

Answer 1

To find out how many words James can type in 30 seconds, we can set up a proportion.

Let's set up the proportion: Words Typed / Time = Words Typed / Time

40 / 20 = x / 30

Now let's solve for x:

(40)(30) = 20x

1200 = 20x

To isolate x, we divide both sides by 20:

1200/20 = x

60 = x

Therefore, James can type 60 words in 30 seconds.
