Question

Reenu types 540 words during half an hour. How many words Would she type in 8 minutes ?

Answer 1

Let no. of words type in 8 minutes = x

No. of words : Time :: No. of words : Time

540 : 30 min. :: x : 8 min

(less time, less words)

$\therefore x=\frac{540\times 8}{30}=144$

$\therefore$ No. of words typed = 144
