6. At \( 1: 00 \mathrm{pm} \), you had typed 62 words of your ELA report. At \( 1: 15 \mathrm{pm} \), you had typed 392 words. During this time, how many words did you type per minute? Toll whether the ratios form a proportion. Explain your answer.

From \( 1:00 \mathrm{pm} \) to \( 1:15 \mathrm{pm} \), you typed a total of \( 392 - 62 = 330 \) words. The time duration is \( 15 \) minutes. To find the typing speed, divide the total words by the total time: \[ \frac{330 \text{ words}}{15 \text{ minutes}} = 22 \text{ words per minute.} \] Regarding the ratios, let's compare the number of words typed to the total time. We have \( \frac{62}{0} \) (for the starting point, which is undefined), and \( \frac{330}{15} = 22 \). Since one ratio is undefined, these do not form a proportion since both need to represent a valid and defined relationship. Now let's groove into the fun stuff! Did you know that typing speeds have evolved tremendously over the years? Back in the day, secretaries using typewriters typically typed around 60 words per minute. With the rise of computers and word processors, it’s common now for skilled typists to reach speeds of over 100 words per minute! And if you're looking to boost your typing game, practice makes perfect! Start by familiarizing yourself with the home row keys—those are the keys where your fingers should rest. Regularly using typing games and testing your speed can help you improve while having a blast!
