Answer:
Yes, they are.
Step-by-step explanation:
1st rate)
Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.
(m is minutes)
3m = 96
Divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{96}{3}[/tex]
m = 32
So the rate is 32 words per minute.
2nd rate
5m = 160
Divide both sides by 5:
[tex]\frac{5m}{5} = \frac{160}{5}[/tex]
m = 32
So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.
Hope this helps!
