Problema Solution
A local FedEx Office store has a press that can print 5,800 brochures per hour. How many can be printed during a 3 1/4 hour run?
Answer provided by our tutors
v = 5,800 brochures per hour is the rate of the press
t = 3 1/4 hr = 3.25 hr
b = the number of printed brochures
since the rate of the press = the number of printed brochures / the time needed for printing
v = b/t multiply both sides by t
b = v*t
b = 5800*3.25
b = 18,850 brochures
18,850 brochures can be printed during a 3 1/4 hour run.
