    Eli is faster the 2nd attempt

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If you do 1 divided by 10 you get 0.1 and if you do 1 divided by 12 you get 0.08. 0.1 is bigger than 0.08.

    He types the words faster the second attempt.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When Eli types the words in a shorter period of time, he is faster when writing the words for his typing test. We can model which period of time is shorter by the simple inequality-

    1/12 (second attempt) < 1/10 (first attempt)

    This is, in ratio to minutes, this inequality-

    5 minutes < 6 minutes

    This means Eli's time writing the second time is shorter, making it the faster time.
