We know that 10 printers print 10 pages of paper for 10 seconds.
In order to calculate how many seconds are needed for 50 printers to print out 50 pages  of paper -denoted with X, we should compare these situation with the situation we know (10 printers print 10 pages).
The number of printers is 5 times bigger and the number of pages is also 5 times bigger, which means we can write:
X=5*(seconds needed 10 printers to print 10 pages)
X=5*10seconds
X=50 seconds
It takes 50 seconds for 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper.

It takes 50 seconds for 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper.

Given that,

Time taken to print for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper is 10 sec.

We have to find,

How many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper.

According to the question,

10 printers print 10 pages of paper for 10 seconds.

To calculate time needed for 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper denoted with X,

Compare these with the given condition we know (10 printers print 10 pages).

The number of printers is 5 times bigger and the number of pages is also 5 times bigger, which means we can write:

X = 5 × (seconds needed 10 printers to print 10 pages)

X = 5 × 10 seconds

X = 50 seconds

Hence, It takes 50 seconds for 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper.
