Question

1. A printer can print 40 pages in 1.6 minutes.
a. Write and solve a proportion to find the number of pages that the printer can print in 5 minutes. Show your work.

Answer 1

First,
put 40(#of pages) over 1.6(time it takes to print) like a division problem.

Answer 2

Then, ^ equals x(# of pages) over 5( time)

Answer 3

So it should look like 40/1.5=x/5. Then solve for x. You should know how to do that :)

Answer 4

x=125
