Lita typed 2 times as fast as kala. The ratio of the number of words kala typed to the number of words rose typed was 4:1. If rose typed 48 words, how many words did lita type?
For some unit of time:
number of words for kala --- 4x
number of words for rose ---- x
but x = 48, so kala typed 192 words
Since Lita typed twice as fast as kala,
lita typed 384 words
To solve this problem, we can start by finding the number of words Kala typed using the given ratio.
Given that the ratio of the number of words Kala typed to the number of words Rose typed is 4:1, we can determine the number of words Kala typed by dividing Rose's word count (48) by the ratio.
Let's do the math:
Number of words Kala typed = (Ratio of Kala to Rose) * Number of words Rose typed
= (4/1) * 48
= 4 * 48
= 192
Now that we know Kala typed 192 words, we can find the number of words Lita typed.
Given that Lita typed 2 times as fast as Kala, we can calculate the number of words Lita typed by multiplying Kala's word count by 2.
Number of words Lita typed = 2 * Number of words Kala typed
= 2 * 192
= 384
Therefore, Lita typed 384 words.
