My question is: Rikki is writing and selling poetry. He sells his poems for $.01 a word. He can write 25 words of poetry in 5 minutes. If he has 2 hours to write poetry, how much can he expect to earn? Your thoughts:
He will write for 120 hours because 2 x 60 = 120. He will write for 24 units of five minutes each because 120 / 5 = 24. He can write 600 words because 24 x 25 = 600. He can earn $6 because 600 x .01 = 6. The final answer: 6.
