Answer:
104.17 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. We are asked to find time taken by Samuel to type \(2.5\times 10^{5}\) words.
To find number of hours, we will divide \(2.5\times 10^{5}\) by 40 as:
\(\frac{2.5\times 10^{5}}{40}\)
\(\frac{2.5\times 10^{5}}{4\times 10}\)
\(\frac{2.5\times 100000}{40}\)
\(\frac{250,000}{40}\)
\(6250\)
Now, we will convert 6250 minutes to hours by dividing 6250 by 60 as 1 hour equals 60 minutes.
\(\frac{6250}{60}=104.166\approx 104.17\)
Therefore, it will take 104.17 hours to type the given words.
