Question

a student is assigned a 1000-word essay for homework. the student can type 25 words per minute. if the teacher gives 15 min to start typing in class, how long will it take the student to finish typing the essay at home?

Answer 1

At school:
25 * 15 = 375
The student would only be able to write 375 words for the 1,000 word essay in 15 minutes since the student writes 25 words per minute. Meaning that there would be only be 625 words left to write.

At home:

625 / 25 = 25

25 * 25 = 625

625 + 375 = 1000

It will take the student 25 minutes to write 25 words per minute for 625 words left for a 1,000 word essay at home after writing 375 words at school for 15 minutes.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

first we need to figure out how many words the student typed in class

15 times 25=375

1000-375=625 the student has 625 words left to type

divide by 15 to find how long it will take

625/25=25

it will take him 25 minutes at home to finish typing the essay

I hope I've helped!
