Lets use the formula to solve this, where,
- R is the rate
- W is the number of workers/things
- T is time
- J is number of jobs/things
<em><u>"If it takes 10 seconds for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper"</u></em> - here -
W is 10 printers, T is 10 seconds, and J is 10 pages. We can write:
<u><em>"how many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper"</em></u><em> - here we use (previously found) to figure out T.</em>
<em></em>
So it will take 10 seconds for 50 printers to print 50 pages.
ANSWER: 10 seconds
