"If you type 44 words per minute. At this rate how many hours would it take to re-type a novel that is 45,000"
For every 44 words counted, you can count one minute. Let's see how many groups of 44 words can fit into 45,000 words, and then we can know how many minutes have passed.
45,000/44 = 1,022.72 minutes (repeating decimal)
Recall that the question was asking how many hours it would take. Because there are 60 minutes for every 1 hour, we will divide the total amount of minutes by 60.
1,022.73/60 = 17.05 hours (rounded to 100th place)
It will take a little over 17 hours to re-type the novel.

If you still have the original, put it in a scanner or Xerox machine so you don't have to retype it. If you have a word processor version of the document, just go to File Print.08/20/19
