Question 1008634: "Three printing presses can finish a certain job in 90 minutes . How many minutes will it take to five such printing presses to do the same job? " Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You consider the concept of press-minutes...
3 presses take 90 minutes...the job takes 270 press-minutes...
Thus 5x = 270 and then
x = 54 minutes
