Question

Rohit can type 196 words in 3.5 minutes. How many words can he type in 12 minutes 30 seconds?

Answer 1

Covert the time to mins:

12 mins 30 seconds = 12.5 mins

Find the number of words typed in 1 min:

3.5 mins = 196 words

1 min = 196 ÷ 3.5 = 56 words

Find the number of words typed in 12.5 mins:

1 min = 56 words

12.5 min = 5.6 x 12.5 = 700 words

Answer: Rohit can type 700 words in 12 mins 30 seconds
