The old photocopier can make x manuals in an hour. The new photocopier can make 4x. Combined, they made 5x manuals in an hour.
In one hour they can make 1/28 of the manuals.
1/(28*5)=1/140 is the rate.
The new photocopier can make all the manuals in 4/140 or 35 hours.
The old one can make them in 140 hours.
I believe the answer is 9, because 1/3 is .33 so 33%. so 33% is equal to 3 buttons and add another 66% which would be another 6 buttons would add up to 99% in all. after that I don't think they would add a quarter of a button.
Well,
1 cup= 8 oz.
If there is 144 ounces...'
Divide 8 into 144
144 divided by 8=
18
She can make 18 cups...
Hope this helps :)
