Let A and B be the rates of the printers.
A = 1.25B
140 reports, 81 pages each = 11,340 pages.
Working together, A and B can complete in 3 hours:
A + B = 11,340/3
1.25B + B = 3,780
2.25B = 3,780
B = 1,680 pages / hour
A = 1,680 * 1.25 = 2,100 pages / hour
Per minute rate of A = 2,100 / 60 = 35 pages /minute
Per minute rate of B = 28 pages / minute
A = 1.25B
140 reports, 81 pages each = 11,340 pages.
Working together, A and B can complete in 3 hours:
A + B = 11,340/3
1.25B + B = 3,780
2.25B = 3,780
B = 1,680 pages / hour
A = 1,680 * 1.25 = 2,100 pages / hour
Per minute rate of A = 2,100 / 60 = 35 pages /minute
Per minute rate of B = 28 pages / minute

Let Printer B's speed be x pages per minute. So, printer A's speed is 1.25x.
Given that the total job = 140*81 pages
Total time taken = 3*60 minutes
180 (x + 1.25x) = 140*81
2.25x = \(\frac{140*81}{180}\)
x = \(\frac{140*81}{180*2.25}\)
x = 28.
So, printer A's speed = 1.25x = 35
Printer A's Speed = 35
Printer B's Speed = 28
Given that the total job = 140*81 pages
Total time taken = 3*60 minutes
180 (x + 1.25x) = 140*81
2.25x = \(\frac{140*81}{180}\)
x = \(\frac{140*81}{180*2.25}\)
x = 28.
So, printer A's speed = 1.25x = 35
Printer A's Speed = 35
Printer B's Speed = 28
