Question 374548: This seems to simple to be what I think...but maybe that is the point....
If 20 typists type 20 pages in 20 minutes , how many typists are needed to type 40 pages in 40 minutes? How many pages can 10 typists type in 10 minutes?
It can't be as simple as 40 typists and 10 pages.....
Thank you
