Question

Last Month, Levi had written 125 words of his book. This month,he is up to 12,580 words. About how many times more words has he written this month than the first month?

Answer 1

He has written about 100 times as many words.

Explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to find the number that he has written this month. In order to do so, we need to subtract the previous month from the current total.

12,580 - 125 = 12,455

Now that we have that number, we can divide it by the previous month to see how many times more words he wrote in the second month.

12,455/125 = 99.64 times more, or rounded, about 100 times more.
