Dorothy types 120 words per minute. How many words does she type in 1.75 minutes

You can do the rule of three,

You first have to convert one minute to seconds, which is 60 sec then you have to convert 1.75 minutes to seconds, which is 105 sec.

if in 60 seconds Dorothy types 120 words, then in 105 seconds Dorothy types x words

105*120 = 12600/60, in 1.75 minutes Dorothy types 120 words.

We set up a proportion:-

1/120 = 1.75*x

120*1.75 = 1x

210=x

Our final answer is that Dorothy types 210 words in 1.75 minutes.
