A certain computer can do 250,000 calculations per minute. How many calculations can it do in 0.15 seconds? 37,500

Answer 1

The answer is 625 i’m pretty sure

Answer 2

Answer:

625

Step-by-step explanation:

1 minute= 60 second= 60.00 seconds

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

From the information given, we can make this equation:

$\frac{0.15}{60.00} =\frac{x}{250,000}$

Now all we need to do to find the answer is to solve for x.

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

Cross Multiplication:

$\frac{0.15}{60.00} =\frac{x}{250,000}$

0.15*250,000=60x

37,500=60x

÷60       ÷60

625=x

x=625

In conclusion:

The computer can do 625 calculations in 0.15 seconds.
