Answer 1

The correct question is
Sakura speaks 150 words per minute on average in hungarian, and 190 words per minute on average in polish. she once gave cooking instructions in hungarian, followed by cleaning instructions in polish. sakura spent 5 minutes total giving both instructions, and spoke 270 more words in polish than in hungarian. how long did sakura speak in hungarian, and how long did she speak in polish?

Let
x------> total words spoken by sakura in hungarian------> 150 words /minute
y------>  total words spoken by sakura in polish-----------> 190 words /minute

we know that
(x/150)+(y/190)=5--------- > equation 1
y=270 +x-------------------- > equation 2
substituting 2 in 1
(x/150)+(270+x)/190=5

multiplying all the expression by (150)*(190)
190x+150*(270+x)=5*190*150
190x+40500+150x=142500
340x=102000-------------- > x=300
x=300 ------------- > total words spoken by sakura in hungarian
y=270+x=270+300=570
y=570 ----------- > total words spoken by sakura in polish

the question is how long did sakura speak in hungarian, and how long did she speak in polish?

y=570 words in polish-------------------> 190 words /minute

if 190 words-----------------------------> 1 minute
   570 words-------------------------- X
X=570/190=3 minutes
In polish Sakura spoke 3 minutes

x=300 words in hungarian-------------------> 150 words /minute

if 150 words-----------------------------> 1 minute
   300 words-------------------------- X
X=300/150=2 minutes

In hungarian Sakura spoke 2 minutes
