Question 1024061: Melina's typing speed is 36 wpm (words per minute). She finished a job in 5 hours. How long would the same job have taken her if she typed 48 wpm?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Will Melina take longer or less time
typing at 48 wpm than 36 wpm?
She will take less so your ratio
of the two typing speeds must
be 36/48 = 3/4
3/4 x 5 hrs
= 3.75 hours
or 3 hours 45 minutes.
Hope this helps :-)
