It takes a typist 0.75 seconds to type one word. At this rate, how many words can he type in 60 seconds?
What would this equation be?
Well, first we need to figure out how long it takes for the typist to type one word. Since it takes him 0.75 seconds, we know that he can type 1/0.75 words per second, or approximately 1.333 words per second.
Now, let's calculate how many words he can type in 60 seconds using our hilarious equation:
Words typed = (Words per second) x (Seconds)
Words typed = 1.333 x 60
So, the equation to calculate the number of words the typist can type in 60 seconds would be:
Words typed = 1.333 x 60
But hey, don't worry about doing the math. Just remember that the typist can type "a buttload of words" in 60 seconds.
To find the number of words a typist can type in 60 seconds, we need to determine the rate at which the typist types and then multiply it by the number of seconds.
First, let's find the rate or speed of typing. It is given that the typist takes 0.75 seconds to type one word. This means the typist can type 1 word in 0.75 seconds.
To find the number of words typed in 60 seconds, we divide the total time (60 seconds) by the time taken to type one word (0.75 seconds).
So, the equation becomes:
Number of words = Total time ÷ Time taken to type one word
In this case:
Number of words = 60 seconds ÷ 0.75 seconds
Now let's calculate the number of words the typist can type in 60 seconds using this equation.
Number of words = 60 ÷ 0.75 = 80
Therefore, the typist can type 80 words in 60 seconds.
60/0.75 = x
80
60/75 =
80
