To find the number of pages the printer will print in 8 minutes, we can use a proportion.
Let's set up the proportion:
40 pages / 5 minutes = x pages / 8 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
(40 pages) * (8 minutes) = (5 minutes) * x pages
320 pages = 5x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
320 pages / 5 = x
x = 64
Therefore, the printer will print 64 pages in 8 minutes.
