Stan can type 50 words per minute. He needs to write a 5-page paper. Each page will contain 400 words. Each hour that he types he needs to drink 15 ounces of water. How much water does he need to drink while writing his paper?
How many words are in each page? ** Stan needs to write 2,000 words because 5 x 400 = <<5*400=2000>>2,000
How many minutes will it take him to write 2,000 words? ** This will take him 40 minutes because 2,000 / 50 = <<2000/50=40>>40
How many ounces does Stan drink in an hour? ** He drinks 1/4 an ounce per minute because 15 / 60 = 1/4
How many ounces of water will he drink while writing the paper? ** He will drink 10 ounces of water while writing the paper because 40 x (1/4) = <<40*(1/4)=10>>10
