Question

anonymous · Answer

so how do you do it?

anonymous · Answer

okay so 3825/85min, and 3990 /95mins. I need it in a ratio. What is next?

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, computer trouble. And brain trouble all at the same time. Not good.
Divide each fraction to get each person's rate. Forget the proportion, my brain was still stuck on someone else's question.

anonymous · Answer

so is the answer 15:14

anonymous · Answer

My apologies for causing confusion. Forget about the proportion or ratios.
Mary's speed = 3823(words) / 85(minutes)

anonymous · Answer

Paul's speed will be calculated the same way.

anonymous · Answer

I re-read your question and realize the answer must be in the form of a ratio, so your answer is correct. Apparently it is past my bed time. Goodnight.
