Dorothy type 120 minute .how many word does dorothy type in 1.75 minute
To be clear I understand:
Dorothy types 120 words per minute.
let's say that her rate per minute = x
x1 =120//divide by 1:
x=120
for 1.75 we have the following equation:
x1.75=y
where we have to find y.
we know that x=120
so we have:
1201.75=y
120(1+0.75)=y// (0.75 of 120 is 90. We can find it by diving 120 by 4 (30) and multiplying by 3 (3*30=90)).
120+90=y
210=y
so she can type 210 words per 1.75 minutes.
Let me know if youy have further questions!
