Ryan took 25 minutes to type the final draft of a 1200 word English paper. How much time should Ryan expect to spend typing the final draft of a 4000-word History paper?

Question

Please, step by step solving so I can understand. Thank you.

Answer 1

Use a ratio, Let x = time to type 4000 words.

25 minutes/1200 words = x/4000 words

So, x = (25)(4000)/(1200) = 83.3 minutes.
