Answer:

Explanation:

1 hour equals 60 minutes

Find out how many pages per minute by dividing 1,520 pages by 60 minutes.

= 25.3333333

Therefore the machine prints 25.333333 pages per minute.

Multiply 25.3333333 by 15 minutes = 380

The machine can print 380 pages in 15 minutes.

You can check your work by finding out how many fifteen minute periods are in an hour (60/15=4), and multiplying 380x4

Since 15x4 is 60 and you can print 1520 pages in 60 minutes, you should be able to multiply 380x4 and get 1520 (spoiler alert! 380x4 is 1,520)

Hope that helped!
