Question

A copy machine makes 44

copies per minute. How many copies does it make in
5 minutes and
30 seconds?

Answer 1

The formula we will use is

`t * r`
where t is time and r is rate.

The time is 5.5 minutes and the rate is 44 per minute.


`5.5 * 44 = 242`
Therefore, the copier can make 242 copies in he alloted time.

Answer 2

242.

5 x 44 = 220

0.5 x 44 = 22

220 + 22 = 242
