Lucy is typing a paper for science class. She can type 375 words in six minutes. How long will it take her to type the entire paper if it needs to be 5,000 words

1 answer

If Lucy can type 375 words in 6 minutes, then she can type 1 word in 6/375 minutes. Therefore, in 6/375 minutes, she can type 5,000 words.
Let's calculate this:
6/375*5000=80
So, it would take her 80 minutes to type the entire paper.
