An inkjet printer can print 8 lines/second and can print a document in 6 minutes. How much time would an LED printer take to print the same document if it can print 7 lines/second more than the inkjet printer?
An inkjet printer can print 8 lines/second and can print a document in 6 minutes.
1 minutes = 60 seconds
6Â minutes = $$60\times6$$ seconds = 360 seconds
Total lines in the document =Â $$8\times360$$
= 2880 lines  Eq.(i)
LED printer takes to print the same document if it can print 7 lines/second more than the inkjet printer.
Speed of LED printer = 8+7 = 15 lines/second   Eq.(ii)
time taken by LED printer to print the document = $$\frac{Eq.(i)}{Eq.(ii)}$$
= $$\frac{2880}{15}$$
=Â 192Â seconds
=Â $$\frac{192}{60}\ minutes$$
=Â $$3\frac{12}{60}\ minutes$$
= 3 minutes 12 seconds
