Question

Steven needs to type a 2000 word document for work. If he can type 125 words in 2 minutes, how long will it take to type the whole document? minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

32 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated with some good old division and multiplication:

Step 1 - Divide the word count by the number of words every 2 minutes:

2000 ÷ 125 =  16

Step 2 - Multiply the 16 by the 2 minutes:

16 * 2 = 32

The 16 is the number of words it would take and multiply the 16 by 2 will tell us the number of minutes it would take for the whole document to be written.

So it would take him 32 minutes.

Hope this helps!
