Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 3.4 × 105 words. Samuel can type 3.4 × 105 words in hours and minutes.

8.925 minutes or 0.14875 hours..?

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel like I'm missing something here... The 3.4 x 105 words seems off. Why didn't they just say 357 words?

Assuming that he types 40 WPM and they're looking for how long it would take for him to type 357 words:

words total

minutes

hours

(x) - (y) = (1 + 4i)

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
