2 printers can print 4 reams of paper in 30 min. If you had 3 printers and 5 reams to print, how many minutes would it take?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "time is directly related to # of reams and indirectly related to # of printers
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "t = k*r/p
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \" 2 printers can print 4 reams of paper in 30 min\".
\n" ); document.write( "30 = k*4/2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "k = 15
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "t = 15*r/p
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Question:: If you had 3 printers and 5 reams to print,
\n" ); document.write( "how many minutes would it take?
\n" ); document.write( "time = 15*5/3
\n" ); document.write( "time = 25 minutes
