Question

If a 125-page document is being printed by five printers, how many pages does each printer print on average?

a) 20 pages
b) 25 pages
c) 30 pages
d) 35 pages

Answer 1

When dividing the total of 125 pages by 5 printers, the result is that each printer prints an average of 25 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many pages each printer will print on average, we divide the total number of pages by the number of printers. There are 125 pages to print and 5 printers to do the job. The calculation we use is:

Number of pages per printer = Total number of pages / Number of printers

Number of pages per printer = 125 / 5 = 25 pages.

Therefore, each printer prints an average of 25 pages.
