a-->It'll take Diego 11 minutes to type 385 words.

b-->Diego can type 525 words in 15 minutes.

To find the answer to a and b, first you have to find how many words Diego can type in 1 minute. To do that, divide the amount of words he can type (140) by the minutes (4).

140/4 = 35

That means Diego can type 35 words per minute.

For a, divide 385 by 35.

385/35 = 11

It'll take Diego 11 minutes to type 385 words.

For b, multiply 35 by 15.

35*15= 525.

Diego can type 525 words in 15 minutes.

Hope this helps!
