Alexa has a 177-page document ready to print. The company's printer runs out of paper after the first 4 minutes. Only 72 pages of the document have been printed. Alexa uses this rate to predict the time it will take to print the rest of the document after adding more paper to the printer. How many minutes will it take the printer to print the rest of the document based on the first four minutes? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
First, let's find out how many pages are being printed per minute:
72 pages / 4 minutes = 18 pages per minute
Now, we can use this rate to estimate the time it will take to print the rest of the document:
177 total pages - 72 pages already printed = 105 pages left to print
105 pages / 18 pages per minute ≈ 5.8 minutes
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 6 minutes to print the rest of the document.
