Question

Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute use information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 2.6 words times 10 to the power five words

Answer 1

Samuel can type 40 words per minute.
Then how many hours will it take for him to type 2.6 words times 10 to the power of five words
=> 2.6 words time 10 to the power of 5
=> 2.6 x 10^5
=> 2.6 x 100 000
=> 260 000 words in all.
Now, we need to find the number of words Samuel can type in a hour
=> 40 words / minutes , in 1 hour there are 60 minutes
=> 40 x 60
=> 2 400 words /hour
Now, let’s divide the total of words he need to type to the number of words he can type in an hour
=> 260 000 / 2 400
=> 108.33 hours.
