Question

Sunecta typos 1080 words in one hour. What is GWAM (gross words a minute rate) ?

Answer 1

1080 words were typed in = 1 hour = 60 minutes
Let x words will be typed in 1 minute
Therefore
$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Time}& 60& 1\\ \text{Words)}& 1080& x\end{array}$
$\therefore \frac{60}{1080}=\frac{1}{x}\Rightarrow 60x=1\times 1080\Rightarrow x=\frac{1080}{60}=18$
GWAM = 18 words/minute
