<PRE><B>Question 542324</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;We just need to convert the words into a proportion (or equation).&lt;br&gt;

For every 1 minute you type, you type 80 words.&lt;br&gt;

For ever 30 minutes you type, you type x words.&lt;br&gt;

In simpler terms, 80 is to 1 as x is to 30.&lt;br&gt;

Then set up the proportion:&lt;br&gt;

{{{80/1=x/30}}}&lt;br&gt;

Then cross multiply:&lt;br&gt;

{{{30*80=1*x}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{2400=x}}}&lt;br&gt;

So the answer is 2400 words.&lt;br&gt;

Which we also could have gotten by simply multiplying 80 times 30.  ;)&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
