Question

Suppose a local office store has a press that can print 55,000 brochures per hour. How many brochures can be printed during a 5 and 1/4 hour run?

Answer 1

Answer:

288750 brochures will be printed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In 1 hour, 55000 brochures are printed

To find:

the number of brochures that will be printed in 5 and 1/4 hour

let the number of brochures that will be printed in 5 and 1/4 hours = y

1 hour = 55000

5 1/4 hour = y

cross multiply:

`\begin{gathered} 1(y)\text{ = 5}(1)/(4)*55000 \\ \\ 5(1)/(4)=(21)/(4)hour \\ \\ y\text{ = }(21)/(4)*55000 \\ \\ y\text{ = 288750} \end{gathered}`

In 5 1/4 hours, 288750 brochures will be printed
