Question

Peter is typing an essay for his science class. The essay needs to be 8,100 words long. Peter can type 25 words per minute. If Peter has 600 words typed so​ far, how many hours will it take for Peter to finish typing the​ essay

Answer 1

5 hours or 300 minutes

Explanation:

If Peter has already written 600 words, he has 7,500 words left to write. If he can write 25 words per minute, it will take 300 minutes for him to finish because 7,500/25=300. 300 minutes can be converted to 5 hours.
