We can solve this problem by using the fact that speed of typing is defined as the words typed in unit time.
Dana will type [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 48.15 hours.
It's given in the question,
- Dana can type 90 words per minute.
Since, 1 minute = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] hours
Therefore, number of words she can type = [tex]\frac{90}{\frac{1}{60}}[/tex]
= 90×60
= 5400 words per hour
- She types [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 'x' hours.
Number of words Dana types with the given speed in 'x' hours = Speed of typing × Time
= [tex]5400\times x[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]5400\times x =2.6\times 10^5[/tex]
[tex]5400x=260000[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{260000}{5400}[/tex]
[tex]x=48.15[/tex] hours
Therefore, Dana types [tex]2.6\times 10^5[/tex] words in 48.15 hours.
