A student can type on an average 210 words in 3 minutes. How long would it take for hthem to type a 1,1001 word paper?

Question

 This question is very difficult

Answer 1

set up a proportion

 

3 is to 210 as x is to 1,001

 

3/210 = x/1,001

cross multiply

210x = 3(1,001)

x = 3(1,001)/210

x = 14.3 minutes

 

(.3 minutes)(60 sec/minute) 

= 18 seconds

 

time = 14 minutes 18 seconds

 

Note:  you had a typo with your

post:  1,1001 words.  If it's not

1,001 words just put the correct

word count in the proportion  

and work it the exact same way.
