Tatyana can text 225 words in 5 minutes. How many words can Tatyana text in 12 minutes?(1 point)

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem.

Since Tatyana can text 225 words in 5 minutes, we can say that she can text x words in 12 minutes.

225 words/5 minutes = x words/12 minutes

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

(225 words)(12 minutes) = (5 minutes)(x words)

2700 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5:

540 = x

Therefore, Tatyana can text 540 words in 12 minutes.
