Answer:
Rate is 1.1333 words per second
Step-by-step explanation:
We understand rating as frequency or speed of doing something per time (seconds mainly)
[tex]{ \green{ \tt{rate = \frac{item \: quantity}{time} }}} \\ [/tex]
Let's find rate in terms of seconds (words per second)
[tex]{ \rm{rate = \frac{34 \: words}{ (\frac{1}{2} \times 60) \: seconds} }} \\ \\ { \rm{rate = \frac{34}{30} }} \\ \\ { \rm{rate = 1.133 \: \: words \: per \: second}}[/tex]
