Answer:

1190

Explanation:

We have the ratio: 8:340 which means that 340 copies are printed in 8 minutes

We want to find out how many color copies are printed in 1 minute so we divide by 8

so our new ratio is now 1:42.5

We now multiply this ratio by 28 to find out how many are printed in 28 minutes

28:1190

our answer is 1190 copies
