Question

Steve can type 40 words per minute. Jaun can type 55 words per minute per minute. If steve and jaun each type for 30 minutes about how many more words will Juan type?

Answer 1

First, we look at our needed information. A good idea is to highlight or underline everything we need.

Jaun can type 55 words per minute, so to find how many words he can type in 30 minutes, we multiply 55 by 30.

55×30=1,650.

That means Jaun can type 1,650 words in 30 minutes.

Next, to find how many words Steve can type, we multiply 40 by 30.

40×30=1,200.

Next we subtract 1,650 by 1,200.

1,650-1,200= 450.

The final answer is 450!

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

The answer is 450 words because, 40 words x 30 minutes is 1,200 words, which means that Steve can type 1,200 words in 30 minutes.

55 words x 30 minutes is 1,650 words, which means that Juan can type 1,650 words in 30 minutes.

To find out how many more words Juan types in 30 minutes than Steve, subtract the two numbers. 1,650 - 1,200 is 450 words.
