| Wednesday | 180 | 85 | 120 |

What is the ratio of the total number of pages printed by printer P over the course of three days to the total number of pages printed by printer Q during the same three days?

Question

The following table shows the number of pages printed by 3 printers (P, Q and R) for 3 days.

| Day       | P   | Q   | R   |
|-----------|-----|-----|-----|
| Monday    | 100 | 130 | 200 |
| Tuesday   | 120 | 145 | 160 |
| Wednesday | 180 | 85  | 120 |

What is the ratio of the total number of pages printed by printer P over the course of three days to the total number of pages printed by printer Q during the same three days?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate total pages printed by printer P over three days:
Monday: 100
Tuesday: 120
Wednesday: 180
Total for P = 100 + 120 + 180 = 400

Step 2: Calculate total pages printed by printer Q over three days:
Monday: 130
Tuesday: 145
Wednesday: 85
Total for Q = 130 + 145 + 85 = 360

Step 3: Find the ratio of total pages printed by P to Q:
Ratio = 400 : 360
Simplify by dividing both by 40:
= 10 : 9

Therefore, the ratio of total pages printed by printer P to printer Q over the three days is 10 : 9.
