Question

Periodical Express is a newspaper printing company. They printed 450 copies of The Informer in just 15 seconds! They next need to print 300 copies of the Sport Report.

If they print at the same rate, how many seconds will it take to print the Sport Report?

Answer 1

Answer: To find out how many seconds it will take to print 300 copies of the Sport Report, we can use the formula:

time = (number of copies) / (rate of printing)

We know that the rate of printing for The Informer is 450 copies in 15 seconds. To find the rate of printing per second, we can divide the number of copies by the time in seconds:

rate of printing = 450 / 15 = 30 copies per second

So to find out how long it will take to print 300 copies of the Sport Report, we can use this rate of printing and plug it into the time formula:

time = (number of copies) / (rate of printing)

time = 300 / 30

time = 10 seconds

Therefore, it will take 10 seconds to print 300 copies of the Sport Report at the same rate as The Informer.
