Dana can type nearly 90 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it will take her to type 2.6 x 105 words ,convert between standard decimal notation and scientifc​

Sagot :

     We can solve this problem by using the fact that speed of typing is defined as the words typed in unit time.

Dana will type [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 48.15 hours.

It's given in the question,

  • Dana can type 90 words per minute.

Since, 1 minute = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] hours

Therefore, number of words she can type = [tex]\frac{90}{\frac{1}{60}}[/tex]

                                                                      = 90×60

                                                                      = 5400 words per hour

  • She types [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 'x' hours.

Number of words Dana types with the given speed in 'x' hours = Speed of typing × Time

= [tex]5400\times x[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]5400\times x =2.6\times 10^5[/tex]

[tex]5400x=260000[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{260000}{5400}[/tex]

[tex]x=48.15[/tex] hours

               Therefore, Dana types [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 48.15 hours.
