Paul can type 60 words per minute and Jennifer can type 80 words per minute. How does Paul's typing speed?

Specify the ratio of Paul's speed to Jennifer's speed.\n60\n---\n80\n\nNow reduce this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 20:\n3 \n--\n4\n\nSo Paul can type 3/4 as fast as Jennifer.\n\nC) 3/4 as fast

Language and its uses have and will always be changing. look at writing from 100 years ago, 50 years ago. The style is very different, as are the lifestyles of those who penned it. today's lifestyle is all about speed: we live in an age of instant gratification, people need to get the message across fast. why? because we can. the technology is available to correct my grammar and spelling, so why should i bother typing it correctly if the computer can fix it faster, or why bother fixing it at all of the message is still understood by the reader? even the grammar and spelling of old telegrams were abbreviated and adjusted to fit the prices. what needs to be understood is that there are now two realms of language and writing. there is an informal, hyper fast world of instant messaging, where misspelling and abbreviation is expected. then there is the formal world of writing, the world of book reports, college papers, and business reports. if today's youths cannot properly distinguish between the two, then there is a problem.

I tend to speak too fast - I'm an impatient person & try not to interrupt people who speak too slowly.  I do, however, use proper grammar & sentence structure.  \n\nSide note: I type the same way: 75wpm.

First we should figure out how many instructions there are per second.\n\n1 microsecond = .001 seconds\n\nso in 1 second there are 1000 microseconds. Thus,\na computer can execute 64,000 instructions in one second.\n\nNow we figure out how many seconds in 10 minutes.\n\nthat is simply\n\n60 * 10 = 600 seconds in 10 minutes.\n\n64,000 * 600 = 38 400 000\n\n38,400,000 instructions in 10 minutes.

Because some people have far less maturity and brainpower than they do typing skills... and even those are mostly lacking.\n\n~~Naomi

250 words would be about 1/2 a page of typing.  Microsoft word has a feature that allows you to count the words automatically.  Try it.\n\nGo to Tools and Word Count.

I've wondered exactly the same thing.  The computers I use at home and at my desk at work could be configured for Dvorak, but I support a great many more systems that would require me to still maintain my QWERTY skills.  So, my question was the same, "Will I lose my speed on regular keyboards?"  So, I'm glad that you asked this question because it allowed me to find the following article by someone in the same situation,\n\n"For a period of four or five years, I used the qwerty layout at work (on a shared DOS computer), and the Dvorak layout at home, spending about half of my typing time on each. During that time, my Dvorak speed increased to 90 wpm, and my qwerty speed reached 80 wpm. My accuracy improved slightly on both layouts. "  http://www.mit.edu/~jcb/Dvorak/

45 is pretty low. Average I think is probably around 80-90 for secretarial work. Look at this site, it offers typing tests and ways to improve your current speed. :-)\n\nhttp://www.assesstyping.com/testservice/index.asp\nhttp://www.typingtest.com/

Typing\n\nAs of 2005, Barbara Blackburn is the fastest typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. \n\nUsing the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 word/min for 50 min, 170 word/min for shorter periods of time, and has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 word/min. Blackburn failed her typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career.\n\n\n\n\nReading\n\nEducated adults read at 200-350 wpm, at best 400 wpm for full comprehension. Research has shown that speed reading at 600 wpm can achieve about 70% comprehension, and 50% comprehension at 1000 wpm.\n\n\nSpeech\n\nBooks on tape are 150-175 words per minute, slide presentations tend to be closer to 100 wpm. Conversations are around 200 wpm, and although research by Ronald Carver has demonstrated that while adults can listen with full comprehension at 300 wpm, even auctioneers can only speak at about 250 wpm.

Each 'word' on a typing test is 5 spaces I believe.  Using a Dictaphone is not the same as a straight typing test.  I would expect the speed to be a lot slower on a dictaphone.  She would need to be to hear the person, determine the correct word (there, their and they're) and correct spelling.\n\nI don't think you're supposed to time a Dictaphone test like you would a typing test.  Give her an allotted time and see how far she gets.  Look at her results (set up of letter correct, spelling, general readability of letter etc.).  I wouldn't try to come up with a WPM score.

haha. nice imaginations. so creative. LOL`. btw, everyone can type no matter how big/huge/gigantic they are but i think they'll just a hve a hard time. or is there a specialised keyboard for them? hmmm?
