Question

Maxine types 294 words in 7 minutes. How many words does Maxine type in 11 minutes?
352 words

Answer 1

462 words

Explanation:

Maxine types :

294 words ⇒ 7 minutes

Let the known number of words be x.

So,

294 words ⇒ 7 minutes

x words ⇒ 11 minutes

Therefore,

294 ⇒ 7

x ⇒ 11

Now use cross multiplication and find the value of x.

7x = 294 × 11

7x = 3234

Now divide both sides by 7.

x = 462 words.
