An offset press can print about 270 sheets of paper per minute. Each sheet is cut to make 8 newspaper pages. How many newspaper pages can be printed in one hour?

Let's write out what we know:

270 sheets of paper per minute

8 pages per sheet

And the question is asking about the number of pages in an hour. So, this makes our problem multiplication:

270 x 8 = 2160

But that's just the number of pages per minute, we need pages per hour. How many minutes are in an hour? 60. So we multiply that answer by 60:

2160 x 60 = 129600

The offset press can print 129,600 nwespaper pages per hour.
