Jerry types 71 words per minute.
A. Write an equation to determine the amount of time it would take to type a given number of words. Define your variables.
B. How long would it take Jerry to type 2556 words?
C. Jerry typed for 20 minutes, how many words did he type?
A. Let's define t as the time it takes Jerry to type W amount of words. Then, we can use the formula:
W = 71t
B. To find out how long it would take Jerry to type 2556 words, we can substitute W with 2556 and solve for t:
2556 = 71t
t = 2556/71
t ≈ 35.99 minutes (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
So, it would take Jerry approximately 35.99 minutes to type 2556 words.
C. If Jerry typed for 20 minutes, we can use the same formula to find out how many words he typed:
W = 71t
W = 71(20)
W = 1420
Therefore, Jerry typed 1420 words in 20 minutes.
A. Let's define the variables:
T = time to type the given number of words
W = number of words
The equation to determine the amount of time it would take to type a given number of words is:
T = W / 71
B. To find out how long it would take Jerry to type 2556 words, we can plug it into the equation:
T = 2556 / 71
T ≈ 36.06 minutes
C. If Jerry typed for 20 minutes, we can use the equation to find out how many words he typed:
W = 71 * T
W = 71 * 20
W = 1420 words
So, Jerry typed 1420 words in 20 minutes.
A. Let's define the variables:
- t represents the time (in minutes) taken to type a certain number of words.
- w represents the number of words typed.
Based on the given information, we know that Jerry types at a rate of 71 words per minute. Using the equation formula d = r*t (distance = rate * time), we can substitute the variables with the given values:
w = 71t
B. We can use the equation w = 71t to determine the amount of time it would take Jerry to type 2556 words. Let's plug in the values:
2556 = 71t
To solve for t, divide both sides of the equation by 71:
t = 2556 / 71
t ≈ 36.06 minutes
Therefore, it would take Jerry approximately 36.06 minutes to type 2556 words.
C. To find out how many words Jerry typed in 20 minutes, we can again use the equation w = 71t. Let's plug in the values:
w = 71 * 20
w = 1420 words
Therefore, Jerry typed 1420 words in 20 minutes.
A. Let's define our variables:
- W: number of words
- T: time taken in minutes
Based on the given information, we know that Jerry types at a rate of 71 words per minute. So, we can write the equation as follows:
W = 71T
B. To find how long it would take Jerry to type 2556 words, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for T:
W = 71T
Divide both sides by 71:
W/71 = T
Now, substitute the given value of W = 2556 into the equation:
T = 2556/71
T ≈ 36 minutes
So, it would take Jerry approximately 36 minutes to type 2556 words.
C. To find out how many words Jerry typed in 20 minutes, we'll use the same equation:
W = 71T
Substitute T = 20 minutes into the equation:
W = 71 * 20
W = 1420
Therefore, Jerry typed 1420 words in 20 minutes.
