First you do, 68/4 to give you the amount of letters it can print in 1 second. This is 17.
Then you do 17*30=  510.

I think this is it...

proportion time...
68/4 = x/30 --- 68 letters in 4 sec = x letters in 30 sec
cross multiply
4x = (68)(30)
4x = 2040 -- divide both sides by 4
x = 510

510 letters in 30 sec
