Question
A machine can stamp 20 envelopes in 4 minutes. How many of these machines, working simultaneously, are needed to stamp 60 envelopes per minute?A12B10C8D5SUBMIT
Solution
First, let's determine how many envelopes one machine can stamp in one minute.
Given that one machine can stamp 20 envelopes in 4 minutes, it means that it can stamp 20/4 = 5 envelopes in one minute.
Now, we need to find out how many machines are needed to stamp 60 envelopes in one minute.
Since one machine can stamp 5 envelopes in one minute, we would need 60/5 = 12 machines to stamp 60 envelopes in one minute.
So, the answer is A12.
