To find out the time need for the secretary to type 2000 words, we need to setup an equation.
Duration= Number of words/Typing speed
If we look at the units, words/(words/minute), it will come words * minutes/words, so the solution will be in minutes, which is what we are looking for. So we can move to plugging and chugging the numbers.
Duration= 2000 words/ 55 words/min
Duration= 36.4 minutes
