Question

It takes Winnie 22 minutes to word process and spell check 10 pages. Find how long it takes her to word process and spell check 45 pages. Round answers to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answer 1

99 minutes

Explanation:

Since the time it takes Winnie to word process and spell check is proportional to the number of pages, we can determine how long it takes her to word process and spell check 45 pages using a proportion:

22 min / 10 pages = x min / 45 pages

22/10 = x/45

(11/5 = x/45) * 45

495/5 = x

99 = x

Thus, it takes Winnie 99 minutes to word process and spell check 45 pages.
