Question

You are typing a paper. At 4:04pm you have typed 275 words. By 4:18pm you have 765 words. Find the rate of change in words per minute. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
A). None of these

B). 20 words per minute

C). 43 words per minute

D). 35 words per minute

E). 55 words per minute

Answer 1

You start at 4:04pm and end at 4:18pm. This means 14 minutes have passed

Now you had 275 word typed and now you have 765. To find the amount that were added simply subtract 765 by 275 and you'll get 490.

Finally, to find the average amount of words typed per minute, you'd divide 490 by 14 for each minute which is 35

Your answer is 35 words per minute
