How long does it take for your printer to print 12 papers?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 min and 50 seconds

Explanation:

first, you have to find the unit rate of how many papers the printer can make in a min which is 40 divided by 5 which gets you a unit rate of 8 for every minute then you take your 12 paper and divide it by your unit rate of 8 per minute which gets you how long it would take to print 12 papers which equal 1.5

Answer 2

1.5 minutes (or 1 minute and 30 seconds)

Explanation:

5 : 40 = x : 12

x = (5 * 12)/40

x = 12/8

x = 1.5 minutes
