Question

Maria has already written  of her 1,000 word essay. If she continues writing at the same pace of 6 words per minute, which expression shows the amount of time it will take her to write the rest of the essay? 

Answer 1

The first thing we must do in this case is to define variables:
 t = time to write the words
 v = write speed.
 w = number of words.
 The correct expression is:
 t = w / v
 By substituting we have:
 t = 1000/6
 t = 166.6666667
 Rounding:
 t = 167 minutes
 Answer:
 The correct expression is:
 t = w / v
 The time is:
 t = 167 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

167 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of words per easy =  1,000

                                        Speed = 6 words per minute

      Time to write the full easy = ?

Solution:

Speed = words/minutes

Total time =  total words/speed

By putting values in the formula:

Time = 1000/6

Time = 166.67 minutes

Hence the total time taken by maria to write 1000 words will be 166.67 minutes or 2 hours and 47 minutes.
