if 2 typists can type 2 pages in 2 minutes. in how many seconds will it take 5 typist to type 19 page
Answer provided by our tutors
lets say that 1 typist types x pages in a minute then
1 typist in 2 minutes will type 2x pages
2 typists in 2 minutes will type 4x pages but we also know that 2 typists can type 2 pages in 2 minutes thus we have
4x = 2
x = 0.5 pages
1 typist types 0.5 pages per minute
5 typists will type 5*0.5 = 2.5 pages per minute
19 pages / 2.5 pages per minute = 19/2.5 minutes = 7.6 minutes
5 typist will type 19 page in 7.6 minutes.
