Question 1029363
rate * time = quantity.
r * t = q
r = rate
t = time
q = quantity


r = 300
q = 1000
r * t = q becomes 300 * t = 1000
it took 1000/300 = 3 and 1/3 hours to type 1000 words on monday.


by the end of the day on tuesday, she had typed 3600 words.
this included the 1000 words she typed on monday.
she must have typed 2600 words on tuesday.
r * t = q becomes 300 * t = 2600.
it took 2600 / 300 = 8 and 2/3 hours to type 2600 words on tuesday.


your solution should be 8 and 2/3 hours.


she typed a total of 3600 words.
r * t = q becomes 300 * t = 3600
t = 3600 / 300 = 12 hours total.


she typed 3 and 1/3 hours on monday and she typed 8 and 2/3 hours on tuesday.
that's a total of 12 hours.
the solution that she spent 8 and 2/3 hours on tuesday is confirmed correct.
