Question

Amit types 540 words during half an hour. How many words would he type in 10 minutes?

Answer 1

Hint: Here we have to convert the question in minutes or in an hour. Start solving with finding the how many words Amit can write in one minute. convert the half hour in minutes. after finding per minute word then simply multiply the answer to 10 minutes to find your answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have
Amit type words in half an hour = 540 words
Half an hour = 30 minutes
Means Amit writes 540 words in 30 minutes
Now finding Amit per minute typed words
We can find the per minute typed word by Amit
$ = \dfrac{\text{Total words}}{\text{total timing}}$
$ = \dfrac{{540}}{{30}}$
After canceling the denominator by numerator, we get
$ = 18$
So, Amit can typed 18 words in one minute
Now we have to find how many words Amit can types in 10 minutes
We can find this by multiplying
The word Amit typed in one minute to 10 minutes
$ = 18 \times 10$
Multiplying 18 by 10 we get
$ = 180$

Hence Amit can type 180 words in 10 minutes.

Note: Here in this question students get confused between time like minute and hour so, first convert the time in the same measure, minute or hour. First you have to find per minute typed word by Amit then find the number of words typed in 10 minutes by Amit. Always find the per unit first then simply multiply the number you want to find with the per unit answer.
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
