The length of an essay is 174 lines with an

average of 14 words per line. If it is
rewritten with an average of 12 words per
line, how many lines will be needed?

To start, you have to figure out how many lines there are. So do 174 divided by 14. Then multiply that answer with 12. I’m not sure if this is right but i hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer:

203 lines

Explanation:

First: Figure out how many words there are (174x14).

Second: Divide that by 12 (which is the average of words per line) because we are trying to figure out how many lines there are.

Third: The answer is 203 lines.

Sorry about that first answer but this one I am sure is right.
