The graphs show the total number of leaflets machines E and F printed from the start. Both machines started printing at the same time.
- How many more leaflets did F print than E in 9 minutes?
- Both machines did not change their rates of printing throughout. When E had printed 250 leaflets, how many leaflets had F printed?
(a)
Machine E:
10 min → 100
Machine F:
10 min → 150
Machine F more than Machine E:
10 min → 150 - 100 = 50
1 min → 50 ÷ 10 = 5
9 min → 9 x 5 = 45
Number of leaflets that machine F printed more than Machine E in 9 min = 45
(b)
Machine E:
250 leaflets → 25 min
Machine F:
10 min → 150
1 min → 150 ÷ 10 = 15
25 min → 25 x 15 = 375
Number of leaflets that F had printed when E had printed 250 leaflets = 375
Answer(s): (a) 45; (b) 375
