Samuel can type 40 words per minute.
Then how many hours will it take for him to type 2.6 words times 10 to the power of five words
=> 2.6 words time 10 to the power of 5
=> 2.6 x 10^5
=> 2.6 x 100 000
=> 260 000 words in all.
Now, we need to find the number of words Samuel can type in a hour
=> 40 words / minutes , in 1 hour there are 60 minutes
=> 40 x 60
=> 2 400 words /hour
Now, let’s divide the total of words he need to type to the number of words he can type in an hour
=> 260 000 / 2 400
=> 108.33 hours.
