Answer:

240 copies in 30 minutes

Explanation:

they gave us the info that it makes 40 copies in 5 minutes, divide 40/5 and you get 8, which tells us that it makes 8 copies per minute.

multiply the 8 copies that it can make in a minute by the 30 minutes, 30*8 and you get 240 copies

hope this helps :)
