Question

a printer can print 12 pages in 9 secounds what is the closest estimate of the number of pages it can print in one minute

Answer 1

If a printer can print 12 pages in 9 seconds, you can calculate the number of pages it can print in one minute (60 seconds) by setting up a proportion:

12 pages / 9 seconds = x pages / 60 seconds

Cross-multiplying gives you:

9x = 12 * 60

Solving for x:

x = (12 * 60) / 9

x = 80

So, the closest estimate of the number of pages the printer can print in one minute is 80 pages.
