Question: You can type 115 words in three minutes. About how many words can you type in seven minutes?
(115 words/3 min)(7 min ) = 268
To find out how many words can be typed in seven minutes, we can start by calculating the words typed per minute.
First, we divide the total number of words (115) by the time taken to type them (3 minutes). This gives us the typing speed: 115 words / 3 minutes = 38.33 words per minute.
Now, we can use the typing speed to calculate the number of words that can be typed in seven minutes.
Multiplying the typing speed (38.33 words per minute) by the number of minutes (7 minutes), we get: 38.33 words per minute * 7 minutes = 268.33 words.
Therefore, you can type around 268 words in seven minutes.
