We have two velocities of typing, one 96 words typed in 3 minutes and other 160 words typed in 5 minutes.
To know who is faster we need to calculate the ratio word/minute for each one and select the greater, so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1)\text{ }\frac{96\text{ words}}{3\text{ minutes}}=32\frac{words}{\min ute} \\ 2)\frac{160\text{ words}}{5\text{ minutes}}=32\frac{words}{\min ute} \end{gathered}[/tex]The both are equal to 32 words/minute.
