To find out how long it will take to print 300 copies of the Sport Report at the same rate, we first need to determine the printing rate from the given information.
The company printed 450 copies in 15 seconds, so we can calculate the rate as follows:
\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of copies}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{450 \text{ copies}}{15 \text{ seconds}} = 30 \text{ copies per second}
\]
Now, we need to find out how long it will take to print 300 copies. We can use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Number of copies}}{\text{Rate}}
\]
Substituting in the numbers:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{300 \text{ copies}}{30 \text{ copies per second}} = 10 \text{ seconds}
\]
Therefore, it will take 10 seconds to print 300 copies of the Sport Report.
