68 letters in 4 seconds so first we need to find how many letters in 1 second. Still remember how to do that? :)

68 divided by 4 is what? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can use a proportion so \[4/68 = 30/x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
68*30 = 2040
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2040/4 = 510

17 sorry i was on another tab

@unthinkablejoe is right.

But yes, 17 is the answer. Now they want to know how many letters it can print in 30 seconds.
So we multiply 17 by 30 and that will get you your answer. :)
