B. 33 words
C.3.160 words
D. 76,950 words​

Answer 1

A. 189,600

Explanation:

(79×60)×5=23700

23700×8=189600

Answer 2

Answer: 189600

Explanation:

If she can type 76 words per minute,

then to find the number of words she can type per hour, we simply multiply 79 by 60( because 1 hour = 60minutes)

79 × 60 =4740

Therefore she can type 4740words per hour

Now we proceed, she works 5 days in a week, and she works 8 hours per day

we need to get the total number of hours she works in a week, to get that, we simply multiply 8 by 5

8 × 5 = 40

which implies she works 40hours in a week

So, to get the total number of words she can type in a week,

we simply multiply 4740 × 40 = 189,600 words.
