Question

A copy machine makes 153 copies in 4 minutes 15 seconds how many copies does it make per minute

Answer 1

Answer:

36 copies.

Step-by-step explanation:

4mins 15 seconds is the same as 4+1/4 minsutes. Since 1 minute is less than 4+1/4minutes and 4+1/4 minutes produces 153 copies. 1 minute will produce less.

(1÷4+1/4)×153

= 36 copies.

Answer 2

36

Change the time into seconds so they’ll be in the same unit, (4*60) + 15= 255. Do cross multiplication,
153. 255
? 60
(153*60) / 255= 36
