You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you got to find out how many seconds are in an hour
You kno there's 60 seconds in 1 minute
60 minutes in 1 hour
So.... 60 seconds * 60 = 3600 seconds
Therefore if 50000 sheets are made per hour, divide 50000 by amount of seconds per hour
50,000 sheets / 3600 seconds = 13.89 sheets per second
So therefore 13.89 sheets or about 14 sheets are made per second
