It takes Kathy 14 minutes to type and spell check 10 pages of a manuscript. Find how long it takes her to type and spell check 55 pages. Round to the nearest whole number.
To find out how long it will take Kathy to type and spell check 55 pages, we first need to calculate her rate per page.
Kathy can type and spell check 10 pages in 14 minutes. This means her rate per page is 14 minutes / 10 pages = 1.4 minutes per page.
Now, we can use this rate to determine how long it will take Kathy to type and spell check 55 pages:
55 pages * 1.4 minutes per page = 77 minutes
Therefore, it will take Kathy approximately 77 minutes to type and spell check 55 pages. Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take her 77 minutes.
