A printer prints 17 pages per minute. How many minutes will it take to print 200 pages? Express your answer to the nearest whole number.
This is a rate problem, where I can use the formula rate * time = quantity. In this case, the rate is 17 pages per minute, the quantity is 200 pages, and the time is what I want to find. So I can write the equation 17 * time = 200. To solve for time, I need to divide both sides by 17. So time = 200 / 17. I get 11.7647058823529... However, the problem asks me to express the answer to the nearest whole number. So I need to round 11.7647058823529... to the closest integer. Since 11.7647058823529... is closer to 12 than to 11, I round up to 12. Therefore, the answer is 12 minutes.
