actually, it will take him about an hour. after the first 120 words, he will get writer’s block. need to go to the fridge for a coke. wander aimlessly for a while trying to think of what to say next. sit back down and start writing. realize he has done 250 words, and take the rest of the hour trying to eliminate adjectives and superfluous phrases to get it back down to the 213 the teacher wants

Bob can write the 213 words in 35.5 minutes. Please find below my solution:

1. First, how many 30 words are there in 213 words? It’s 213/30 = 7.1

2. Next, how many minutes, Bob can write 213 words. It is 7.1 X 5 = 35.5 minutes

First set a proportion:

words/minutes====30/5=======213/x

_30_ = _213_

_5__ __x___

then cross multiply

30X = 1065

then divide both sides by thirty

X = 35.5

The answer is 35.5 minutes

30 words/5 minutes = 213 words/x minutes

30/5 = 213/x

multiply each side by 5

30 = 1065/x

multiply each side by x

30x = 1065

divide each side by 30

x = 35.5 minutes

Hi πŸ™‚ Great question! First thing I’d do is set it up as a proportion.

30 words 213 words

————– = β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

5 minutes x

NOW, cross multiply and get

30x = 1065

**REMEMBER: 30 times X = 30x; 213 x 5 = 1065

NEXT, DIVIDE BOTH SIDES by 30 to get β€˜x’ by itself

30x = 1065

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

30 30

x = 35.5 WPM

I hope this helps! πŸ™‚ Good luck πŸ™‚

Surely you can work this out for yourself. Start by calculating how many words he writes per minute.
