Question

360 words in 1/12 hour. Second try 360 words in 1/15 hour. Was he faster or slower second attempt

Answer 1

Answer:

Second Attempt is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

He reads 360 words in $\frac{1}{12}$ hour in the first attempt and in the second attempt he reads the same number of words in $\frac{1}{15}$ hour.

Since, $\frac{1}{15} < \frac{1}{12}$ he takes less time in the second time. Less time means the work is done faster.

Therefore, second attempt is faster.
