Question

Nebi has already typed 250 words. He then starts a timer and finds that he types 150 words in 3 minutes. If nebi types at a constant rate, write a linear equation to represent the number of words w that nebi types m minutes after starting the timer

Answer 1

Answer:

$w=250+50m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number words Nebi has typed = 250

t = Duration of typing = 3 minutes

Number of words typed in 3 minutes = 150

Rate of typing in 3 minutes

$\dfrac{150}{3}=50\ \text{words/minute}$

So the linear equation representing the situation would be

$w=250+50m$

Where

w = Number of words

m = Number of minutes after starting the timer
