Answer 2

Answer:  10 minutes

==========================================

Work Shown:

A = 50 = number of words typed in 1 minute

B = 1 minute

C = 500 words

D = x minutes (needed to type 500 words)

A/B = C/D

50/1 = 500/x

50*x = 1*500 ... cross multiply

50x = 500

x = 500/50 .... divide both sides by 50

x = 10

You'll need 10 minutes to type 500 words

------------

Alternative approach:

50 words = 1 minute .... given speed

1 word = 1/50 minute ... divide both sides by 50

1 word = 0.02 minute

500 words = 10 minutes .... multiply both sides by 500
