Answer 1

288 points

2 minutes

5 minutes

Explanation:

Given that :

Average point per game = 18 points

Number of games played = 16

Total points claimed = number of games played * average points per game

Total points = 18 * 16 = 288 points on average

Print rate = 12 pages per minute

Copying rate = 10 pages per minute

To print a 24 page research paper :

Time taken = number of pages / printing rate

Time taken = 24 / 12 = 2 minutes

To copy a 50 page paper :

Time taken = number of pages / copying rate

Time taken = 50 / 10 = 5 minutes
