Question

Jorge’s printer can print 24 pages in 15 minutes. How many pages can it print in 3/4 hour? In 1 hour?

Answer 1

Jorge's printer can print 72 pages in 3/4 hours and 96 pages in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pages printed in 15 minutes = 24 pages

15 minutes = $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}\ hour$

Therefore;

$\frac{1}{4}\ hour = 24\ pages$

Multiplying both sides by 4

$4*\frac{1}{4}=24*4\\1\ hour = 96\ pages$

In 3/4 hours

$\frac{3}{4}\ hour = 96*\frac{3}{4}\\\\\frac{3}{4}\ hour = 72\ pages$

Jorge's printer can print 72 pages in 3/4 hours and 96 pages in 1 hour.
