Question

Gillian read 3135 words in 19 minutes. Let w represent the words read each minute. If Gillian read the same number of words each minute how many words did she read in one minute?

Answer 1

she read 165 words per minute

Explanation:

if you tell us that Gillian read 3135 words in 19 minutes we can represent it as follows

19 m = 3135w

so now we have to find out how much I read in 1 minute, for this we have to divide both parts of equality by 19

19m = 3135w

19m/19 = 3135w/19

1m = 165w

she read 165 words per minute
