This question just involves some multiplication and division.

There are 10 words per line, 25 lines per page, 12 pages, and 15 documents

Number of total words = (15 docs) * (12 pages /doc) * (25 lines/ page) * (10 words/ line)
Number of total words = (15*12*25*10)= 45000

Time taken = Total words / words per minute
Time taken = 45000 / 40
Time taken = 1125 minutes

To convert to hours, divide by 60. 1125 minutes = 18.75 hours.
