Question

360 words in 1/12 hour. Second try 360 words in 1/15 hour. Was he faster or slower second attempt

Answer 1

Second Attempt is faster.

Explanation:

He reads 360 words in
`(1)/(12)` hour in the first attempt and in the second attempt he reads the same number of words in
`(1)/(15)` hour.

Since,
`$ (1)/(15) < (1)/(12) $` he takes less time in the second time. Less time means the work is done faster.

Therefore, second attempt is faster.
