Question

A local store can print 55,000 papers per hour. How many papers can they print in 5 1/4 hours?

Answer 1

To find the answer you need to multiply 55,000 times 5 1/4 that is equal to 68750.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 288,750 papers in total

Explanation: For every hour, the local store can print 55,000 units of paper. That means for x number of hours, they can print 55,000 into x places. Or simply put, 55000x number of paper for every hour.

From this we can calculate how much they would print in 5 ¼ hours.

Printing for 5 ¼ hours would be derived as;

55000 × 5 ¼

=55000 × 21/4

=(55000× 21)/4

=1155000/4

=288,750

The local store can print 288,750 units of paper in 5 ¼ hours
