Question

Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 3.4 × 105 words. Samuel can type 3.4 × 105 words in hours and minutes.

Answer 1

8.925 minutes or 0.14875 hours..?

Explanation:

I feel like I'm missing something here... The 3.4 x 105 words seems off. Why didn't they just say 357 words?

Assuming that he types 40 WPM and they're looking for how long it would take for him to type 357 words:

`3.4*105 = 357` words total

`(357)/(40) = 8.925` minutes

`(8.925)/(60) = 0.14875` hours
