So you need to find out time. What you do is divide 72 by 9 to get 8. Once you get 8, you have to multiply it by 18. Your answer is then 144 Papers

Answer: The required time needed to deliver 72 papers is 2 hours 24 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that 9 papers are delivered in 18 minutes.

We are to determine the time needed to deliver 72 papers.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Time needed to deliver 9 papers = 18 minutes.

So, time needed to deliver 1 minute will be

$(18)/(9)=2~\textup{minutes}.$

Therefore, time needed to deliver 72 papers is given by

$2*72=144~\textup{minutes}=(120)/(60)~\textup{hours},24~\textup{minutes}=2~\textup{hours}~24~\textup{minutes}.$

Thus, the required time needed to deliver 72 papers is 2 hours 24 minutes.
