In order to find out how many pages can be produced in 30 minutes, we can just create a ratio based on the information that we have. Lets call the amount of pages produced in 30minutes as X because its unknown.
If in 20min is printed out 250pages.
Then in 30min is printed x pages.
If we cross multiply, we will have 20 times x equal to 250 times 30.
20x = 250*30
20x = 7500
Divide both sides with 20.
20x/20 = 7500 / 20
x= 7500/20
x=375
