Ava can text 225 words in 5 minutes, haw many words can she text in 12 minutes

1 answer

To find out how many words Ava can text in 12 minutes, we can set up a proportion.

If 225 words can be texted in 5 minutes, then we can set up the following equation:

225 words / 5 minutes = x words / 12 minutes

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

5 minutes * x words = 225 words * 12 minutes

5x = 2700

Now, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:

x = 2700 / 5 = 540

Therefore, Ava can text 540 words in 12 minutes.
