To find Jaime's typing rate in words per minute, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Typing Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Words}}{\text{Total Minutes}}
\]
In this case, Jaime typed 408 words in 12 minutes. Plugging in the numbers:
\[
\text{Typing Rate} = \frac{408 \text{ words}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = 34 \text{ words per minute}
\]
Therefore, Jaime's typing rate is **34 words per minute**, which corresponds to option **B**.
\[
\text{Typing Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Words}}{\text{Total Minutes}}

\text{Typing Rate} = \frac{408 \text{ words}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = 34 \text{ words per minute}
\]
Therefore, Jaime's typing rate is **34 words per minute**, which corresponds to option **B**.
