Question

Eli takes a typing test and types all 360 words and 1/10 of an hour he takes a test the second time in types the words and 1/12 of an hour was he faster or slower on the second attempt complete an explanation.

Answer 1

He was faster the second time around.

Explanation:

Since 1/10 is more than 1/12, he spent less time the second time than he did the first, meaning that he typed faster in the second attempt than the first.

Answer 2

She was faster on her second attempt.

To determine the attempt for which she was faster, We covert the time taken on each attempt to decimal to enable easy comparison.

First attempt :

• Time taken = 1/10 = 0.10

Second attempt :

• Time taken = 1/12 = 0.083

0.083 < 0.10

She used a shorter time span on her second attempt. Hence, she was faster on her second attempt.
