A doctor can type 30 words per minute as a patient is describing his symptoms. Transcription software an type 150 words per minute. If the patient talks for 2 minutes, what is the difference in the number of words the doctor can type compared to the transcription software?
what is the answer
The doctor can type a total of 60 words in 2 minutes (30 words/minute x 2 minutes = 60 words). The transcription software can type 300 words in 2 minutes (150 words/minute x 2 minutes = 300 words).
The difference in the number of words the doctor can type compared to the transcription software is 240 words (300 words - 60 words = 240 words).
