I think he is faster on the second attempt but I'm really bad at math

Jayda Bauer · Answer 2

1/10 (60) = 60/10 = 6 ... so the first test, he can type 300 words in 6 minutes ... or 300/6 = 50 words per minute

1/12 (60) = 60/12 = 5 ... on the second test, he can type 300 words in 5 minutes ... or 300/5 = 60 words per minute

so he is faster on the second attempt
