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

the rate of the FedEx Office store is:


v = 5,800 brochures per hour


v = the number of brochures printed (n) /the time it took to print the brochures (t)


v = n/t => n = v*t


t = 3 1/4 hours


t = 3.25 hours


the number of brochures printed is:


n = 5800 * 3.25


n = 18,850 brochures can be printed during 3 1/4 hours.
