Question

A printer makes 23 pages per minute, how many minutes does it take per page

Answer 1

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} pages&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 23&1\\ 1&m \end{array}\implies \cfrac{23}{1}=\cfrac{1}{m}\implies 23m=1\\\\\\ m=\cfrac{1}{23}\impliedby \textit{about 2.6 seconds}`

Answer 2

Hi there!

In order to find your answer, you'll need to use the cross produc method :

23 pages → 60 seconds

1 page → x seconds

(60 × 1) ÷ 23 = x seconds

60 ÷ 23 = x seconds

2.61 ≅ x seconds

You answer is : It takes a printer about 2.61 seconds to print one page.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
