Question

A printer can print 12 pages in 9 seconds. What is the closest estimate of the number of pages it can print in one minute?

Answer 1

80 pages

Explanation:

Let's use a ratio to solve:

pages : seconds

12 : 9

4 : 3

`p` : 60

It would seem that
`p` would equal 80. The printer can print 80 pages in 60 seconds or one minute.
