If a 16-page document is split between this printer and an older model, the two printers take 50 s to print the document, working together. How many seconds does it take the older model to print a page? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #122144 by kev82(151)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Both printers must have finished 50s or less. The first printer takes 15s per page, so may have printed 0, 1, 2, or 3 pages during this time, which leaves 16, 15, 14, or 13 pages to the other printer. This means the other printer could take any one of 50/16, 50/15, 50/14, or 50/13 seconds per page. I don't think there is enough information to figure out which of those times is correct. \n" ); document.write( " |
