Question

The essay needs to be 5,400 words long. Peter can type 20 words per minute. If Peter has 600 words typed so​ far, how many hours will it take for Peter to finish typing the​ essay?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 hours

Explanation:

60 minutes in an hour so 60×20=1200 words per hour

5400 words total - 600 words written already = 4800 words left

4800 words left ÷ 1200 words per hour = 4 hours
