Answer :

Samir can type 2800 words in 33 minutes

Solution:

Given that Samir can type 85 words per minute

To find: Time taken to type 2800 words

From given question,

1 minute = 85 words

Let "x" be the time taken to type 2800 words

Therefore,

1 minute = 85 words

"x" minute = 2800 words

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

[tex]1 \times 2800 = x \times 85\\\\85x = 2800\\\\x = \frac{2800}{85}\\\\x = 32.9 \approx 33[/tex]

Thus Samir can type 2800 words in 33 minutes
