A machine prints 1500 newspapers in 45 minutes. How many does it print in 12 hours ?
+9466 1 hour = 60 minutes Multiply both sides of this equation by 12
12 hours = 720 minutes
Now we can set up this equation:
\(\frac{1500 \, \text{ papers}}{45\,\text{ mins}}=\frac{x}{720\,\text{ mins}}\) and solve for x by multiplying both sides by 720 mins.
\(720\,\text{ mins}\,*\,\frac{1500 \, \text{ papers}}{45\,\text{ mins}}=x \\~\\ 24,000\,\text{ papers}=x\)
+9466 1 hour = 60 minutes Multiply both sides of this equation by 12
12 hours = 720 minutes
Now we can set up this equation:
\(\frac{1500 \, \text{ papers}}{45\,\text{ mins}}=\frac{x}{720\,\text{ mins}}\) and solve for x by multiplying both sides by 720 mins.
\(720\,\text{ mins}\,*\,\frac{1500 \, \text{ papers}}{45\,\text{ mins}}=x \\~\\ 24,000\,\text{ papers}=x\)
