Answer: 85 minutes

Explanation:

First, find how many minutes it takes for Wayne to type a page containing 500 words. 500/50= 10 minutes

You then multiply that by 8

8(10)= 80 minutes to type 8 pages.

Now find how many words are in half a page.

500/2=250 words

Divide that by the amount of words Wayne can type per minute. 250/50= 5

Add that to the amount of minutes it took to type 8 pages. 85 minutes

Which is also 1 hour 25 minutes
