Question

Jenna can type 140 words in 4 minutes. If she needs to type 385 words, how long would this take her? Explain how you got your answer

Answer 1

11 min

Explanation:

140 ÷ 4

= 35 which is the amount of words that she types in 1 min.

385 ÷ 35

= 11

so it will take Jenna 11 min to type 385 words.

Answer 2

11 minutes

Explanation:

Because she types only 140 words in 4 minutes so if you add

140+140=280

if you divide

140/4 you get 35

so every minute she types in 35 words. So multiply

11 times 35 and you exactly get 385.
