Foster publishers printing press can print 5 dictionaries in 8 minutes. How many can it print in 10 minutes

5/8 = x/10

Cross multiply and solve for x.

Hey guys.

To find out how many dictionaries Foster publishers printing press can print in 10 minutes, we can use a proportion relationship.

First, we need to determine the rate at which the press can print dictionaries per minute. We know that it can print 5 dictionaries in 8 minutes. Therefore, the rate is calculated as follows:

Rate = Number of Dictionaries / Time

Rate = 5 dictionaries / 8 minutes

Next, we can use this rate to find the number of dictionaries that can be printed in 10 minutes. We set up a proportion where the unknown is the number of dictionaries:

5 dictionaries / 8 minutes = x dictionaries / 10 minutes

We can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying:

5 * 10 = 8 * x

50 = 8x

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:

50 / 8 = x

6.25 = x

Therefore, Foster publishers printing press can print approximately 6 dictionaries in 10 minutes.

Is my answer 6.25?????????

Yes.
