If in 5 days a clerk can copy 125 pages, 36 lines/page, 11 words/line,
how many pages of 30 lines each and 12 words per line can he copy in 6 days?
:
Find how many words per day he can copy
%28125%2A36%2A11%29%2F5 = 9900 words per day
:
In six days: 6 * 9900 = 59400 words
:
Find the no. of 12 word lines: 59400%2F12 = 4950 lines
:
Find no. of 30 line pages: 4950%2F30 = 165 pages
