CPM Homework Help : CC3MN Problem 7-114

Sao can text $1500$ words per hour. He needs to text a message with $85$ words. He only has $5$ minutes between classes to complete the text. Can he do it in $5$ minutes?

Hint:

Convert ''words per hour'' to ''words per minute.''

More Help 1:

There are $60$ minutes in $1$ hour, so you need to divide $1500$ by $60$ to find out how many words he can type per minute.

More Help 2:

$\frac{1500}{60} = 25 \text{ words per minute}$

How many words can he type in $5$ minutes if he can type $25$ words per minute?

Partial Answer:

$(25)(5)=?$
Does he have enough time to complete the $85$ word text?
