Question

You took a test to determine how fast you can type. The results said that you type at a speed of 82 words per minute. Based on this average, how long will it take you to type 1000 words?

Answer 1

13 minutes

Step-by-step explanation

The speed is 82 words per minute.

To find how long it will take to type 1000 words, we have to divide the number of words (1000) by the speed (82 wpm).

We hve to find an estimate, so we will round 82 wpm down to 80 wpm.

We have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Time = }(1000)/(80) \\ \text{Time = 12.5 minutes }\cong13\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}`

It will take 13 minutes to type 1000 words
