Question

Maria has already written Two-fifths of her 1,000-word essay. If she continues writing at the same pace of 6 1/2 words per minute, which expression shows the amount of time it will take her to write the rest of the essay?

1000 times two-fifths times 13/2
1000 times two-fifths divided by 13/2
1000 times three-fifths times 13/2
1000 times three-fifths divided by 13/2

Answer 1

I think it's C

Explanation:

if you multiply 1000 by 2/5 you would get 400 and if you divide 400 by 13/2 which is also equivalent to 6 and 1/2 you would get 15.38 which i assume is the time itll take her to finish her essay.... plus if u multiply 400 by 13/2 u get 2600 which i doubt it takes her like 43 hours to finish an essay of 1000 words
