Question

-) Tim can read 500 words in 3 minutes. How long will it take him to read
1,250 words?​

Answer 1

The answer is 7 min and 15 sec

Explanation :

500 x 2.5 = 1250

3 x 2.5 = 7.5(7.15min)

Answer 2

In this exercice, we suppose that Tim will never get tired of reading and the words are all exactly the same length.

We can process to a cross product;

Let x denotes the time Tim needed to read 1250 words.

180s X

500 1250

(1250×180)/500=450s=7minutes and 15 seconds.

Providing everything I wrote way up high the answer is given,

Tim took 7minutes and 15seconds to read 1250 words.
