Question

A computer printer produced 176,400 lines in a given day. If the printer was in operation for seven hours during the day, how many lines did it print per minute?

Answer 1

lines produced in one hour=176400/24

ie.7350

lines produced in 7 hrs.

7350*7=51450

i.e. ans is 51450

Answer 2

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 176,400, you will get the number of lines printed each hour, which is 25,200.

If this is then divided by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour), you will get the number of lines printed each minute: 420.

This process of dividing can be used to solve many problems, of all different measurements and increments.

Another way to solve the problem, would be to divide 176,400 by the number of minutes in 7 hours (420).

176,400 divided by 420 is 420.
