Question

Claude is learning how to type and can only type 20 words per minute. His friend Henry is in the same typing class and types five words per minute slower than Claude. His other friend Oscar took the class last year and is three times as fast as Henry. How many words per minute can Oscar type?

Answer 1

You would subtract 5 from 20 since Henry types 5 words per minute slower than Claude. Then you would multiply the answer you get from that and that's your answer.

Answer 2

Make sure you multiply it by three since he's three times faster.

Answer 3

thank you

Answer 4
