Question

a person can type 500 words in 10 minutes and second can type 400 words in the same time in how much time then can together type three sixty thousand words
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

first person ( suppose x ) = 500 words in 10 minutes

second person ( suppose  Y ) = 400 words in 10 minutes

if we find out the total amount of words there will be 900 words in 10 minutes because the first person takes 10 minutes to write 500 words and the second can write 400 in 10 minutes

500 + 400 = 900

900 words in 10 minutes

then we will find out how many words can they both write in 1 minute

900  ------  10

X -------------  1

will cross multiply

it will be 10X = 900

X= 90

in one minute 90 words can be written altogether

then to find out about 360,000 words we will divide 360,000 by 90

360,000 divided by 90 360,000/90= 4000

together it will take them 4000 minutes

hope this is helpful
