Question

Kilo typed 1,125 words in 15 minutes let w represent the number of words typed each minute If Lolo typed the same number of words each minute how many words did she type in 1 minute

Answer 1

She type 75 words in 1 minute.

Explanation:

Given:

Lolo typed 1,125 words in 15 minutes.

Let w represent the number of words typed each minute.

Now, to find the number of words she type in 1 minute if Lolo typed the same number of words each minute.

So, we solve it by using cross multiplication method:

As 1125 words is equivalent to 15 minutes.

Thus, w number of words equivalent to 1 minutes.

`(1125)/(15) =(w)/(1)`

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒
`1125=15w`

Dividing both sides by 15 we get:

⇒
`75=w`

⇒
`w=75.`

Therefore, she type 75 words in 1 minute.
