To find out how many words James can type in 30 seconds, we need to examine the relationship between time and the number of words typed.
Given that James can type 40 words in 20 seconds, we can calculate his typing rate:
- Typing rate: \( \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Words}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{40 \text{ words}}{20 \text{ sec}} = 2 \text{ words/sec} \)
Now we can use this rate to find out how many words he can type in 30 seconds:
- Words in 30 seconds: \( 2 \text{ words/sec} \times 30 \text{ sec} = 60 \text{ words} \)
Thus, James can type 60 words in 30 seconds.
The correct response is 60.
