Question

Explain how to find n, the number of copies the machine can print in one minute. I need an algebraic expression for the answer.

Once the first part is done, I need help with this question.

Working at the same rate, how long will it take the machine to print 5,200 copies? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

It prints 65 copies in 1 minute.

It takes 80 minutes to print 5200 copies.

Explanation:

In 5 minutes the machine prints 325 copies and it can print at that steady state.

We have to find the number of copies it prints in 1 minute.

So ,number of copies in 1 minute =
`(number of copies in 5 minute)/(5)`

=
`(325)/(5)`

= 65

Hence it prints 65 copies in 1 minute.

The time taken to print 5200 copies =
`time to make 1 copy * 5200`

=
`(1)/(65) * 5200`

= 80 minutes
