Question

Machine A prints 16 pages more than Machine B in every minute. Machine A and Machine B print a total of 608 pages in 4 minutes. At this rate, how many pages does Machine A print in 1 minute?

Answer 1

1) So the ratio of Machine A to B is x + 16 : x (x being the paper printed in machine b).

2) This is in 4 minutes so every minute it will be 152.

2) So x + 16 + x = 152, or 2x + 16 = 152.

3) So to find x, we can subtract 16 from both sides. 2x = 136

4) Now we just divide both sides by 2 to get x = 68.

5) So machine A will be 68 + 16 = 84.

=  84

Answer 2

Answer:

A = 84 pages per minute, B=68 pages per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A= number of pages of Machine A per minute

B = number of pages of Machine B per minute

A=B+16

A+B=608/4 = 152

B + 16+B = 152

2B=136

B=68

A=68+16 = 84
