Question: The company's data entry team had 5 employees working on a large project. Rudy types 64 words per minute, Joyce types 76 words per minute, Gladys types 91 words per minute, Lisa types 80 words per minute and Mike types 89 words per minute. What is the team's average typed words per minute?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Rudy types 64, Joyce types 76, Gladys types 91, Lisa types 80 and Mike types 89 so 64 + 76 + 91 + 80 + 89 = 400. There are 5 team members, so they type at an average speed of 400 / 5 = 80 words per minute.
So the answer is 80.


Question: A dog barks 30 times per minute. If 2 dogs bark 30 times per minute, how many times will they have barked after 10 minutes?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: There are 2 dogs and they each bark 30 times per minute so together they bark 2 * 30 = 60 times per minute. 2 dogs bark a combined total of 60 times per minutes, after 10 minutes they will have barked 60 * 10 = 600 times.
So the answer is 600.


Question: Jessica has one hour to take an exam. She has answered 16 out of 80 questions. She has used 12 minutes of her time. If she keeps up this same pace, how many minutes will be left when she finishes the exam?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
She takes .75 minutes to answer a question because 12 / 16 = .75. It will take her 60 minutes to take the entire exam because 80 x .75 = 60. She has 0 minutes left when she is done because 60 - 60 = 0.
So the answer is 0.
