Derek reads at rate of 25 words per min. How long would it take him to read a 225 word article if he read at a constant rate without stopping?

A) 5 hours
B) 9 minutes
C) 10 hours
D) 25 minutes

Respuesta :

It would take him 9 minutes.
The time is the number of words to be read, 225, divided by 25. Simplify 225/25 and that quotient is the number minutes Derek will take to read the article.
