A typist takes 8 minutes to type 360 words.How many minutes will he take to type 225 words?
A. 5 minutes
B. 4 minutes
C. 3 minutes
D. 13 minutes

Answers

Answer:

A. 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using proportions

Let x be the number of minutes needed to type 225 words.

8 minutes = 360 words

     x          = 225 words

Cross-multiply

360 × x  =  225× 8

360 x = 1800

Divide both-side of the equation by 360

(360x)/(360)  = (1800)/(360)

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 360 at the numerator  will cancel-out 360 at the denominator, while on the right-hand side of the equation 1800 will be divided by 360)

x= 5 minutes

Therefore, it will take 5 minutes to type 225 words

Well, it cant be option B because then it wuld be half the time (180 mins.)

It cant be option D becasue then it would be over 360 mins, seeing that it only took 8 mins to type 360

And it cant be option C beacuse it would be too small, if 4 mins is to small then 3 mins is worse

Your answer would be A 5 minutes it's just a little bit above 4 mins(half)

Divide £52 in the ratio 11:2

Answers

First, get the sum of the ratio. (11 + 2 = 13)

Divide 52 by 13 to find one 'part' of the ratio. (52 ÷ 13 = 4)

Now that we have one 'part' of the ratio, we multiply it by 11 and 2 to get: (£4 × 11 = £44) and (£4 × 2 = £8).

The ratio will be £44:8.

We can check if this is correct by adding 44 and 8 to see if it adds up to 52. (44 + 8 = 52). It does, so it's correct.

The area of a rectangular city park is 25/54 square miles. The length of the park is 5/9 mile. What is the width, in miles, of the park?

Answers

area of rectangle = 24/54 square miles
length(L) = 5/9 miles
width (W)= ?
area = L * W
25/54 = 5/9 * W
W =  (25/54) / (5/9) = (25 * 9) / (54 * 5)
 W = 5/6 miles
