OpenStudy (anonymous):

A printer printed 68 letters in 4 seconds. If it prints letters at a constant speed, it can print ______ letters in 30 seconds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

What do yo think you need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply i guess

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

no, you need to find out how many letters a second the printer prints. That means you need to divide \[68\div4 =\]

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

what do you get?

OpenStudy (sagewilson):

first it would probably help to find out how many letters can be printed in 1 second just do what k_lynn said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17

OpenStudy (sagewilson):

what do you think you should do next?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

yes, 17 letters a second. Now what do you think you need to do to find out how many letter in 30 seconds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
