Answer by music974(43) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you must use the unit measurement words/time. Then you would end up with 48/2, 80/5 and 91/7. Now you divide and get 24wpm for Chris, 16 wpm for Sharon and 13 wpm for Michelle. The fastest typer was Chris with 24 wpm.
