Final answer:

To determine how many words Toni typed in 2 hours, we add the number of words typed during each time period. After converting the time into hours and adding them up, Toni typed a total of 1,330 words in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about combining different amounts of words typed over different periods of time to find a total word count after 2 hours. To find out how many words Toni typed in 2 hours, we need to add up the quantities of words typed during each time frame mentioned. Toni typed 600 words in 1 hour, 250 words in 20 minutes (which is 1/3 of an hour), and 480 words in 40 minutes (which is 2/3 of an hour).

First, we calculate the words typed per hour to standardize the amounts:

  • 1 hour = 600 words
  • 1/3 hour = 250 words
  • 2/3 hour = 480 words

Next, we convert all time into hours and find the total:

  • For 20 minutes: (1/3 hour) × (250 words) = 250 words
  • For 40 minutes: (2/3 hour) × (480 words) = 480 words

Therefore, the total words typed in 2 hours is the sum of words typed in each period:

600 + 250 + 480 = 1,330 words.
