To find how many copies printed in 100 minutes, multiply 360 by 10. The reason for doing so is 100 minutes is ten times more than 10 minutes, so there will be ten times more copies made.

360 × 10 = 3,600

Answer:

There will be 3,600 copies made in 100 minutes.

Alternative method:

Divide 360 by 10 to find how many copies made in one minute.

360 ÷ 10 = 36

There are 36 copies made in one minute. Now multiply 36 by 100 to find the amount made in 100 minutes.

36 × 100 = 3,600

Answer:

There will be 3,600 copies made in 100 minutes.
