For your second question, yes, you divide to find the fastest typing time.
320 divided by 8
600 divided by 12
etc.
Hallo! HELP!!! I have a problem… here it is!
Write the ratio as a unit rate.
286 miles in 5 1/2 hours.

Which typing time is the fastest?
320 words in 8 minutes
600 words in 12 minutes

What about the first question?
A math tutor may correct me, but I think the first thing to do is get rid of the fraction and express that number in a decimal format. What does 5 1/2 equal in decimals?
286 miles in 5 1/2 hours
= 286mi / 5.5hr = 286/5.5 mi/hr
= 286mi / 5.5hr = 286/5.5 mi/hr
I think you should find out a number that 5, 8, 10, and 12 have a multiple of like I think 60 and find out words in 60 minutes
