Answer:
11 min and 525 words
Step-by-step explanation:
I put 140 words/ 4 mins and simplified it to 35 words /1 min
Doing so i plug in what was given and used cross multiply and divid :D
When solving these proportions we just remember when moving a number from one side to the other if it started in the numerator it ends up in the denominator and vice versa.
I'll do it in two steps here for teaching purposes; it's not too hard to go directly to the answer.



16 is 4% of
400 Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing the decimal over 100:

Divide 16 by the decimal (0.04):
Since some number added to -11 is 37, we must do 37- (-11), which is 48. Then we check our work and find that 48+-11 is indeed 37. Now we divide 48 by -12, which is -4, multiply by -8 and get a final answer of 32.
