Answer:

13. 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple proportion problem. Make two fractions where one item is always on the top and the other on the bottom.

[tex]\frac{3 min}{128 words} = \frac{x min}{ 576 words}[/tex]

Now, cross multiply (multiply the two numbers diagonal from each other and divide  the diagonal with the x value)

576 x 3 = 1, 728

1, 728 / 128 = 13.5
