Answer:

The printer will print 100 pages in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

1. Set up a proportion


(40 pages)/(6 minutes) =(xpages)/(15minutes)

2. Cross-multiply the proportion


40*15=600\\6* x =6x

3. Set up the equation


6x=600

4. Solve for x


6x=600

Divide both sides by 6


x=100

Therefore, the printer will print 100 pages in 15 minutes.
