A book scanner can scan 80 words in 4 minutes. How many words does the book scanner scan per minute?

1 answer

To find the number of words the book scanner scans per minute, divide the total number of words scanned (80) by the total time taken (4 minutes).

80 words / 4 minutes = <<80/4=20>>20 words/minute.

Thus, the book scanner scans 20 words per minute.
