Question

A certain laser printer can print 12 pages per minute. Determine this printer’s output in pages per day.

Answer 1

17,280 pages per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The output of the printer = 12 pages per minutes

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ day }=24hours*60\min utes \\ =1440\text{ minutes} \\ \implies1\text{ minute=}(1)/(1440)day \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{ }\frac{\text{pages}}{\text{minutes}}=12\frac{\text{pages}}{(1)/(1440)\text{day}} \\ =12*1440\text{ pages per day} \\ =17,280\text{ pages per day} \end{gathered}`

The printer's output in pages per day is 17,280 pages per day.
