1. **State the problem:** We need to determine who types more words per minute between Mitch and Carrie, and then find how many words that person can type in 5 minutes. 2. **Given information:** - Mitch types 480 words in 12 minutes. - Carrie types about 370 words in 10 minutes (from the graph). 3. **Find the typing rate (words per minute) for each:** - Mitch's rate: $$\frac{480}{12} = 40$$ words per minute. - Carrie's rate: $$\frac{370}{10} = 37$$ words per minute. 4. **Compare the rates:** Mitch types 40 words per minute, Carrie types 37 words per minute. So, Mitch types more words per minute. 5. **Calculate how many words Mitch can type in 5 minutes:** - Using the formula $$\text{Words} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}$$ - Substitute Mitch's rate and time: $$40 \times 5 = 200$$ words. **Final answer:** Mitch types more words per minute and can type 200 words in 5 minutes.
