Question

Raquel can type an average of 63 words per minute. Rick can type 73 words per minute. how many more words can Rick type than Raquel in 135 minutes? Jared chose B as the correct answer. How did he get that answer? Jared said the answer is 4599. How did he get that answer?

Answer 1

Jared multiplied 63 by 73.. That doesn't make any sense. To solve the problem, find how many more words Rick can write per minute. 73 - 63 = 10.

If he can write 10 more words in 1 minute, that means he can write 10 x 135 = 1,350 more words in 135 minutes.
