Answer:
As per the statement:
Tom and Maria typed in words in the ratio of 1 : 5 in 20 minutes.
Let x be the number.
Then;
Tom typed number of words = x and
Maria typed number of words = 5x
It is also given that they altogether typed 864
⇒[tex]x+5x = 864[/tex]
Combine like terms;
6x = 864
Divide both sides by 6 we get;
x = 144
then;
Number of words Tom typed = 144 and
Number of words Maria typed =5(144)=720
Therefore, number of words that Tom and Maria typed are: 144 and 720
Answer:
The number of words Tom typed are 144 and number of words Maria typed are 720 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
Tom and Maria typed in words in the ratio of 1 : 5 in 20 minutes.
They typed 864 words altogether.
Let us assume that the y be the scalar multiple of the Tom and Maria typed in words .
Number of words Tom typed = y
Number of words Maria typed = 5y
Thus the equation becomes
y + 5y = 864
6y = 864
[tex]y= \frac{864}{6}[/tex]
y = 144
Number of words Tom typed = 144
Number of words Maria typed = 5 × 144
= 720
Therefore the number of words Tom typed are 144 and number of words Maria typed are 720 .
