Advertisements
Solution
| Number of words | 1080 | x |
| Time (in minute) | 60 | 1 |
\[\text{ Therefore, it is a direct variation .} \]
\[1080: x = 60: 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1080}{x} = \frac{60}{1}\]
\[ \text{ Applying cross muliplication, we get: } \]
\[x = \frac{1080 \times 1}{60}\]
\[ = 18\]
\[\text{ Thus, her GWAM will be 18 } .\]
