To find Yousef's typing speed, we can divide the number of words he typed by the time it took him.
He typed 36 words in 2/3 minute.
To convert 2/3 to decimal form, we can multiply the numerator by 20 and divide by the denominator:
2/3 * 20 = 40/3
So, Yousef typed 36 words in 40/3 minutes.
To find his typing speed in words per minute, we can divide the number of words (36) by the time (40/3):
36 / (40/3) = 36 * 3/40 = 108/40
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
108/40 = 54/20 = 27/10
Therefore, Yousef's typing speed is 27/10 words per minute.
