We know that amount of words is equal \"Rate+%2A+Time\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If Connie types at a rate of {{[20}}} words per minute faster than Katie types
\n" ); document.write( "we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"600+=+20+%2A+Time\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Time+=+600+%2F+20+\" = > \"Time+=+30min\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which means that Connie types \"600\" words in \"30\" minutes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now find it for Katie: since Connie can type 600 words in 5 minutes less than it takes Katie, we will have \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Time+=+30+%2B+5\" = > \"Time+=+35min\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now, let find the rate for Katie:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"600+=+Rate+%2A+35\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Rate+=+600+%2F+35+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Rate=+120+%2F+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Rate+=+17.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "Katie types \"17.14%29\" words per minute.
\n" ); document.write( "
