Question

Suneeta types 1080 words in one hour. What is her GWAM (gross words a minute rate)?

 

Answer 1

Number of words	1080	x
Time (in minute)	60	1

Let x be her GWAM.

\[ \text { If the time taken is less, GWAM will also be less }  . \]
\[\text{ Therefore, it is a direct variation .}  \]
\[1080: x = 60: 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1080}{x} = \frac{60}{1}\]
\[ \text{ Applying cross muliplication, we get: } \]
\[x = \frac{1080 \times 1}{60}\]
\[ = 18\]
\[\text{ Thus, her GWAM will be 18 }  .\]
