it will take Tyler 9.5 minutes to finish typing his essay.
To solve this problem
We can use to solve the problem:
m = (500 words - 25 words) / 50 words/minute
where:
- Tyler has a total of 10 minutes to complete composing his essay.
- The essay has a total length of 500 words.
- Tyler has already written 25 words on his keyboard.
- Tyler can type 50 words a minute.
Solving the equation:
Let, subtract 25 words from 500 words to find the remaining words to be typed: 500 words - 25 words = 475 words.
Now, let divide the remaining words (475 words) by Tyler's typing speed (50 words/minute):
475 words / 50 words/minute = 9.5 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Tyler 9.5 minutes to finish typing his essay.
