Question

Tara can type 180 words in 4 minutes at this rate how many words can she type in 10 minutes

Answer 1

450 words in 10 minutes

Explanation:

To set this up you need to put it like this:

`(180)/(4) =(x)/(10)`

From here, you need to cross multiply, which will get you to: 180(10) = 4x

Multiply 180 and 10: 1,800

The equation will now be: 1,800 = 4x

Now, divide both sides by 4: 450 = x

Answer 2

450 words at a rate of 45 word per minute

Explanation:

180 divided by 4 equals 45

times 10 equals 450
