If a person can type 45 words per minute, how many words can they type in 20 minutes?

  • A. 800 words
  • B. 850 words
  • C. 900 words
  • D. 750 words
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many words a person can type in 20 minutes at a speed of 45 words per minute, you multiply the typing speed (45 words/minute) by the duration (20 minutes): 45 words/minute x 20 minutes = 900 words. Hence, the correct answer is 900 words. Choice A (800 words) is incorrect because it results from multiplying 45 words per minute by 18 minutes, not 20. Choice B (850 words) is incorrect as it is not the product of 45 words per minute and 20 minutes. Choice D (750 words) is incorrect because it is the outcome of multiplying 45 words per minute by 15 minutes, not 20.
