Answer:

<h2><em>30page essay/min</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Speed = Distance/Time

If the library made a copy of leslie's 3 page essay in just 1/10 of a minute, this means that she made 3 pages in (1/10 * 60)secs i.e 6secs

To get the speed, we need to calculate the amount of page of essay that are produced in a minute (60secs).

If 3 page essay = 6secs

x page essay = 60 secs

cross multiply

3*60 = 6x

180 = 6x

x = 180/6

x = 30

<em>This shows that 30 page essays are produced in just a minute. Hence the speed of the copy machine is 30page essay/min.</em>
