$$\frac{\frac{4*60}{3}125}{300}=\frac{100}{3}=33.3 \text{ books} $$

If it produces 125 pages for every 3 minutes, then it produces 2500 pages per hour
or 10,000 books in 4 hour

The problem asks for the maximum numbe of 300 page books
divide 10,000 by 300
33.33
Well there can't be 33.33 books
So we cut of the .33

It can only print 33 books
