A little help with this task

[frank79]

Hi,

I'd appreciate if you could help me with this. So here it is:

I've got a text (90 words long) and I'd like to calculate how long it should take when reading. I have a limit that is 110 words/minute. So based on this 110 words/minute, how long (sec) the 90 words long text should take? How do you calculate this? Thanks

Can you do the similar but different problem?

If 5 apples cost 1 $ how much would 3 apples cost?

I do the above problem following way:

5 apples cost 1$ = 100 cents

1 apple cost = 100/5 = 20 cents

3 apples cost = 20*3 = 60 cents

for your given problem:

110 words read in 60 seconds

1 word read in (60/110 = ) 6/11 seconds

90 words read in ..... ??

How many seconds are there in a minute? Given that, how many words/second would 110 words/minute be? Given that how long in seconds would would it take to read 90 words? If we knew where you were stuck in this process, maybe we could help you better.
