10 pages in 25 minutes is 10pages/25 min=0.4 pages per minute or inversely 2.5 minutes/page
105 pages * 2.5 minutes per page=262.5 minutes or 4 hrs 22 mins 30 sec ANSWER 1 It takes you 262.5 minutes to type 105 pages.
1 hour and 10 minutes is 70 minutes so:
70 min * 0.4 pages/min=28 pages ANSWER 2 You can type 28 pages in one hour ten minutes.

Suppose you can type 10 pages in 25 minutes. How long will it take you to type 105 pages?
x/105 = 25/10
x = 105(5/2)
x = 52.5*5 = 262.5 minutes
-------------------------
How many pages can you type in 1 hour and 10 minutes?
x/70 = 25/10
x = 70*2.5
x = 141 minutes

Suppose you can type 10 pages in 25 minutes. How long will it take you to type 105 pages? How many pages can you type in 1 hour and 10 minutes?

Set up proportions as follows:
With T being the amount of time it'd take to type 105 pages, we get: 10%2F25+=+105%2FT.
Solve for T. You should get: highlight_green%28T+=+4_hrs_22.5_mins%29
With P being the number of pages than can be typed in 1 hour 10 mins, or 70 mins., we get: 10%2F25+=+P%2F70.
Solve for P. You should get: highlight_green%28P+=+28_pages%29
