Question

The equation y = 14x represents the number of pages Printer A can print over time, where y is the number of pages and x is time in minutes. The table shows the number of pages Printer B can print over time.

How many pages does each printer print per minute, and which printer prints at a faster rate?

Printer A:[ ]pages per minute

Printer B:[ ]pages per minute

The printer that prints at a faster rate is Printer[ ]. (Type A for Printer A or B for Printer B)

Answer 1

Printer A
y = 14x

Printer B
Time(min)       |  3  |  5  |  8  |  12  |
Pages printed | 48 | 80 | 128 | 192 |

Printer A prints 14(1) = 14 pages per minute.
Printer B prints 48/3 = 16 pages per minute.

The printer that prints at a faster rate is printer B.

Answer:

Printer A: 14 pages per minute
