1800 + 4200 = 6000
500 words/5 minutes = 100 words/ 1 minutes
= 6000 words/ 60 minutes
60 minutes

1800+4200=6000/100(500 words in 5 minutes=100 words/minute then it would take David 60 minutes to read both chapters 2 and 3

David reads 500 words in 5 minutes, so that's 100 words per minute.
Chapter two has 1,800 words, so that takes 18 minutes.
Chapter 3 has 4,200 words, so that takes 42 minutes.
18+42 = 60, so it takes one hour (60 minutes) to read both chapters.

It will take one hour.
I like to arrange word problems such that the numbers are easy to work with. Chapters two and three have a total of 6000 words. At David's reading rate he can read 1000 words in 10 minutes. He will finish reading in 6 blocks of 10 minutes each. one hour.
enjoy!

60 minutes,
1800+4200 = 6000
500 in 5 minutes = 100 in 1 minute
6000/100 = 60

1800 + 4200 = 6000 words
6000/500 words per "5 minute segment" = 12 "5 minute segments"
12 * 5 = 60 minutes
This assumes he doesn't go get a Coke or go to the bathroom.

500 words divided into 6000 words equals 12x 5 minutes..or 60 minutes/1 hour

total of 6000 words in chapters 2 and 3
6000 words x (5 minutes/500 words)= 60 minutes
