Question

It takes a word processor 45 minutes to word process and spell check 6 pages. Find how long it takes her to word process and spell check 22 pages.

Answer 1

45 minutes for 6 pages.

Divide 45 minutes by 6 pages to find total minutes for 1 page:

45 / 6 = 7.5 minutes per page.

Multiply 7.5 by 22 pages:

22 * 7.5 = 165 minutes ( 2 hours and 45 minutes)
