Answer 1

278 copies of paper per hour

Explanation:

Extracting information from the question:

*** John is a newspaper printer

*** He needs to print 10,000 copies of paper in 36 hours.

*** He makes $35,000 each year.

*** He uses 120,000 FT of news print each week.

*** We are required to calculate how many papers that must be printed per hour to meet the deadline.

A good study of the information provided will reveal that we do not necessarily need to Know how much he makes per year or the quantity of newsprint he uses each week to be able to determine how many papers that he must print per hour to meet his deadline of 10,000 copies.

The only relevant information here is the 10,000 copies of paper be has to print in 36 hours. So, in order to find how many of them must be printed in 1 hour to beat the deadline, we will just divide 10,000 by 36 hours.

10,000/36hrs

= 277.7 = 278 copies of paper per hour

Answer 2

The number of papers he needs to print per hour to meet his deadline is 277.78 copies of papers

Explanation:

Number of copies required to be printed in 36 hours = 10,000

Therefore the number of copies that is required to be printed per hour is given by

(Number of copies required to be printed in 36 hours) divided by (36)

That is since 10,000 copies are printed in 36 hours, we have

In 1 hour, which is per hour, he needs to print

36 hours = 10,000 copies

36/36 hours = 10,000/36 copies

=
`\frac{10,000 \hspace {0.09cm} printed \hspace {0.09cm} in \hspace {0.09cm} 36 \hspace {0.09cm} hours }{36}` = 277.78 copies

In one hour he needs to print 277.78 copies

The number of papers he needs to print per hour to meet his deadline = 277.78 copies of papers.
