Printers You buy the inkjet printer shown in the advertisement. You use it

to print a 40 page document in black and white and a 20 page document in color. How long does it take to print both documents?

1 Write and solve an equation to find the time it takes to print the black and white document.

2 Write and solve an equation to find the time it takes to print the color document.

3. Find the time it takes to print both documents.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Equation is 8x=40 and time taken to print black and white documents is 5minute

b. Equation is 5x=20 and time taken to print color page of black and white documents is 4 minute

c. Total time to print both documents =9minutes

Step by step solution

01

a.Step-1- Time taken to print 1 page

From given information, we came to know that,

Rate of printing black and white document=8pages/min

8pages → 1min.

Dividing with 8on both sides, we get

⇒88pages → 18min.

⇒1page → 18min.

02

Step-2- Solve the equation for x

For printing 40pages.

Let time be x.

⇒40pages →xmin --------(1)

Multiplying with 40on both sides

We get

⇒40page → 18×40min -------(2)

Comparing equation-(1) and (2), we get

x=408

03

Step-3- Simplifying above equation

Multiplying with 8on both sides, we get

8×x=408×88×x=408x=40

Therefore, required equation is 8x=40.

On solving, we get

x=408=5min.

Equation is 8x=40 and time taken to print 40 page of black and white documents is 5minute

04

b.Step-1- Time taken to print 1 page

From given information, we came to know that,

Rate of printing color document =5pages/min

5pages → 1min.

Dividing with 5on both sides, we get

⇒55pages → 15min.

⇒1page → 15min.

05

Step-2- Solve the equation for x

For printing 20pages, let time be x.

⇒20pages →xmin --------(1)

Multiplying with 20on both sides

We get

⇒20pages →15×20min---------------(2)

Comparing equation-(1) and (2), we get

x=205

06

Step-3- Simplifying above equation and conclusion

Multiplying with 5on both sides, we get

5×x=205×55×x=205x=20

Therefore, required equation is 5x=20.

On solving, we get

x=205=4min.

Equation is 5x=20 and time taken to print 40 page of black and white documents is 4 minutes.

07

c.Step-1- Writing formula using given information

Total time taken to print both documents = Time taken to print black and white document +Time taken to print color document.

08

Step-2- Finding time taken to print both documents

On substituting values, we get

⇒ Total time taken to print both documents =5+4

⇒ Total time taken to print both documents =9minutes.

09

Step-3- Conclusion

Therefore, total time to print both documents =9minutes.
