Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the time it takes to write down all the numbers from 1 to 997, we need to find out how many numbers are in this range and then multiply that by the time it takes to write each number (which is one second).
1. There are 997 numbers in the range from 1 to 997.
2. It takes one second to write each number.
Now, multiply the number of numbers by the time it takes to write each number:
997 numbers × 1 second/number = 997 seconds
So, it will take 997 seconds to write down all the numbers from 1 to 997, which is equivalent to 16 minutes and 37 seconds.
