1. A printer can print 40 pages in 1.6 minutes.
a. Write and solve a proportion to find the number of pages that the printer can print in 5 minutes. Show your work.
b. Lana wants to use the printer to print 150 pages. Find the time, in minutes, it will take to print 150 pages. Show your work.
40/1.6 = n/5
so
n = 200/1.6 =
b)
150 * 1.6/40 =
Thank you
You are welcome.

i think so answer is...........
any one have the answer here?
no ok bye
a. To find the number of pages that the printer can print in 5 minutes, we can set up a proportion.
We know that the printer can print 40 pages in 1.6 minutes. So, we can set up the proportion as:
40 pages / 1.6 minutes = x pages / 5 minutes
To solve this proportion, we can use cross-multiplication.
40 * 5 = 1.6 * x
200 = 1.6x
To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.6:
x = 200 / 1.6 = 125
Therefore, the printer can print 125 pages in 5 minutes.
b. To find the time it will take to print 150 pages, we can set up another proportion.
We know that the printer can print 40 pages in 1.6 minutes. So, we can set up the proportion as:
40 pages / 1.6 minutes = 150 pages / x minutes
Again, we can use cross-multiplication to solve this proportion.
40 * x = 1.6 * 150
40x = 240
To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 40:
x = 240 / 40 = 6
Therefore, it will take 6 minutes to print 150 pages.
