Question

(a) A color printer prints 15 pages in 5 minutes. How many pages does it print per minute?

(b) It takes 34 pounds of seed to completely plant a 6-acre field. How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?

If necessary, round your answers to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

A: it could print 3 pages every minute. 15/5=3.

B: one pound could plant 0.176 acres if you round to the third decimal point.

Answer 2

For a, since it is 15 pages in 5 minutes, you can divide 15 by 5 which equals 3. If you times 3 by 5 that equals 15. So, 3 is your answer. I hope this helps!
