the assistant can type 55 words in 1 minute

55 words m minutes

------------- x ---------------- =

1 minute 1

The minutes units cancel and you are left with only words

55 times m is 55m

1 times 1 is 1

55m/1 is the same as 55m and your units will be words

You don't have a value for m but if you did you could put that in. Say it was 3 minutes

55*3=165 words

w = 55m where w is the total number of words and m is the number of minutes.
