Question

if Jerry can type an average of 35 words per minute about how long will it take him to type a four-page documentary that has 125 words on each page

Answer 1

About 14.29 minutes

Explanation:

Each page has 125 words

There are 4 pages

SO, total number of words:

125 * 4 = 500 words

The rate of typing is 35 wpm (words per minute)

So, to find time it will take to type 500 words is found by dividing the number of words (500) by the rate (35), so we have:

500/35 = 14.2857 minutes

So, it will take about 14.29 minutes to type up the whole documentary
