If two typists can type two pages in two minutes, how many typists will it take to type 18 pages and 6 minutes?
6 typist
To answer this question, we need to determine the relationship between the number of typists, the number of pages, and the amount of time it takes to type them.
First, we can calculate the rate at which one typist can type one page. If two typists can type two pages in two minutes, then each typist can type one page in two minutes.
Next, let's calculate the number of typists required to type 18 pages in 6 minutes. Since one typist can type one page in two minutes, it would take one typist 36 minutes to type 18 pages (18 pages x 2 minutes per page = 36 minutes per typist). However, we only have 6 minutes, so we need to divide the available time by the time it takes for one typist to complete one page (6 minutes ÷ 2 minutes per page = 3 pages per typist).
Therefore, it would take 3 typists to type 18 pages in 6 minutes.
