We are given
It takes a word processor 22 minutes to word process and spell check 4 pages
so, firstly we can find rate
total time =22 min
number pf pages =4
processing rate = ( number of pages)/( total time)
So, processing rate is
[tex]=\frac{4}{22}[/tex]
[tex]R=\frac{2}{11}[/tex] page /min
now, we are given total number of pages =26
Time = (total number of pages)/( processing rate)
so, time is
[tex]=\frac{26}{\frac{2}{11}}[/tex]
now, we can simplify it
[tex]=\frac{26}{\frac{2}{11}}[/tex]
[tex]=143[/tex]
So, the time taken to word process and spell check 26 pages is 143 min........Answer
