Question

A Typist takes 24 minutes to type 8 pages. How long will she take to type 96 pages?

• A. 30 pages
• B. 32 pages.
• C. 48 pages
• D. 44 pages.

Answer 1

The correct option is B 32 pages.

The typist takes 24 minutes to type 8 pages.

From the ratio table, we can equate two ratios.

$\frac{24}{8}$ = $\frac{96}{z}$

24 $\times$ z = 8 $\times$ 96

z = $\frac{8\times 96}{24}$

= 32

Hence, she will type 32 pages in 96 minutes.
