To get a job as a receptionist you have to be able to type 60 words per minute. Trevor wanted to work as a receptionist for the summer so he was working on building up his typing speed. He made the following table to track his progress.

Week 0 20 words/min
Week 1 26 words/min
Week 2 32 words/min
Week 3 38 words/min

If the pattern of progress shown in the table continues, how many words per minute will Trevor be able to type in 5 weeks?

He will be able to type 56 words
