A machine at Staples photocopies 12 1/4 pages per minute. If the machine runs 700 minutes, how many pages will be photocopied?
700 * 12.25 = 8575
To find the total number of pages that will be photocopied, you need to multiply the number of pages copied per minute by the total number of minutes the machine runs.
First, let's convert 12 1/4 into a decimal. To do this, we can rewrite 1/4 as 0.25 and add it to the whole number, 12. This gives us 12 + 0.25 = 12.25 pages per minute.
Next, we multiply 12.25 pages per minute by 700 minutes:
12.25 pages/minute * 700 minutes = 8575 pages.
Therefore, the machine will photocopy a total of 8575 pages.
To find the total number of pages that will be photocopied, we need to multiply the number of pages photocopied per minute by the total number of minutes the machine runs.
First, let's convert the mixed number 12 1/4 to an improper fraction.
12 1/4 = (4 * 12 + 1) / 4 = 49/4
Now, we can calculate the number of pages photocopied per minute.
49/4 pages per minute
Next, we need to find the total number of pages photocopied by multiplying the pages per minute by the total number of minutes the machine runs.
Total pages photocopied = (49/4) * 700
Calculating this expression, we have:
Total pages photocopied = 49/4 * 700
Total pages photocopied = (49 * 700) / 4
Now, let's simplify this expression:
Total pages photocopied = 34,300 / 4
Finally, we find the total number of pages photocopied:
Total pages photocopied = 8,575
Therefore, the machine will photocopy 8,575 pages.
