Diego can type 140 in 4 minutes

1. At this rate, how long will it take him to type 385 words?

2. How many words can he type in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

1. He will take 11 minutes to type 385

2. He can type 525 words in 15 minutes

Explanation:

1. Since he can type 140 words in 4 minutes, he can type 35 words in one minute. So 385 words, if typed at 35 words per minute, would be typed in 11 minutes since 385/35=11.

2. 15 minutes times 35 words per minute is equal to 525 words.
