Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 2.9 × 105 words. Samuel can type 2.9 × 105 words in
hours and
minutes.

Samuel can type 40 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:.

Then how many hours will it take for him to type 2.6 words times 10 to the power of five words

=> 2.6 words time 10 to the power of 5

=> 2.6 x 10^5

=> 2.6 x 100 000

=> 260 000 words in all.

Now, we need to find the number of words Samuel can type in a hour

=> 40 words / minutes , in 1 hour there are 60 minutes

=> 40 x 60

=> 2 400 words /hour

Now, let’s divide the total of words he need to type to the number of words he can type in an hour

=> 260 000 / 2 400

=> 108.33 hours.
