Another way to solve this problem is by setting up a ratio and proportion equation.
We know that the printer can print 8 pages per minute. To find out how many pages it can print in 1 hour, we need to convert minutes to hours.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we set up the following proportion:
8 pages/1 minute = x pages/60 minutes
To solve for x (the number of pages in 1 hour), we cross-multiply and solve for x:
1 minute * x pages = 8 pages * 60 minutes
x = (8 * 60) / 1
x = 480 pages
Therefore, the printer can print 480 pages in 1 hour.
A printer can print 8 pages per minute. How many pages could the printer print in 1 hour?
60 minutes = 1 hour
