Question

if a typist is able to type 5 pages in 10 minutes, then by your calculations, how many hours will it take the typist to type 60 pages?

Answer 1

2 hours

Explanation:

If 5 pages in 10 minutes and 60 pages than 60/5, which is 12. 12*10=120 minutes. 120 minutes is equivalent to 2 hours.

Answer 2

2 hours

Explanation:

`(5)/(10)` =
`(60)/(x)` Cross multiply and solve for x

5x = 600 Divide both sides by 5

x = 120

This is 120 minutes. 120 minutes is equal to 2 hours.
