Application of fractional equation Xiaoming and Xiaoxiao input Chinese characters. Xiaoming input 900 words and Xiaoxiao input 1200 words in the same time. We know that each of them input 210 words per minute. Can you work out how many words each of them input per minute?

Application of fractional equation Xiaoming and Xiaoxiao input Chinese characters. Xiaoming input 900 words and Xiaoxiao input 1200 words in the same time. We know that each of them input 210 words per minute. Can you work out how many words each of them input per minute?

Set Xiaoming to input x words per minute and Xiaoxiao to input (210-x) words per minute
900/x=1200/(210-x)
3(210-x)=4x
4x+3x=630
x=90
It is tested that x = 90 is the root of the equation
Path: 210-90 = 120
