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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 60 seconds in a minute so about 6 9 seconds in a minute. then there is 12 pages per 9 seconds and since there is 6 9 seconds then you can just multiply 6 by 9 to get the answer 72

Using proportions, it is found that the closest estimate is that he can print 80 pages in one minute.

------------

  • This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
  • In 9 seconds, the printer prints 12 pages.
  • How many pages can he print in 1 minute, which is 60 seconds?

9 seconds - 12 pages

60 seconds - x pages

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]9x = 12 \times 60[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12 \times 60}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x = 80[/tex]

The closest estimate is that he can print 80 pages in one minute.
