It took Leo 3 hours to type a 4125-word essay. Sarah typed her 3800-word essay in 3 hours and 10 minutes. At these rates, how much longer would it take Sarah than Leo to type a 5500-word essay?

Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ It took Leo 3 hours to type a 4125-word essay

→ The rate is the number of words divided by the time

∴ Leo's rate = 4125 ÷ 3 = 1375 words/hour

∵ Sarah typed her 3800-word essay in 3 hours and 10 minutes

→ Change the 10 min to the hour by divide it by 60

∵ 3 hours 10 min = 3 + = 3 +  = 3 hours

∴ Sarah's rate = 3800 ÷ 3  = 1200 words/hour

∵ Leo will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by his rate to find the time taken

∴ Leo takes = 5500 ÷ 1375 = 4 hours

∵ Sarah will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by her rate to find the time taken

∴ Sarah takes = 5500 ÷ 1200 = 4 hours

→ Find the difference between their times

∵ The difference = 4 - 4 = hour

→ Multiply it by 60 to change to minutes

∴ The difference = × 60 = 35 minutes

∴ Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
