Final answer:
To photocopy 1100 copies of three separate two page documents, it will take 297 minutes, given the photocopier's rate of 45 minutes per 1000 copies.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how many minutes it will take to photocopy 1100 copies of each of three separate two page documents, given a photocopier's rate of 45 minutes for 1000 single page copies.
First, we calculate the total number of pages to be copied. Since there are three documents, each consisting of two pages, and the manager needs 1100 copies of each, the total pages are calculated as follows:
- 2 pages/document × 1100 copies/document × 3 documents = 6600 pages in total
Knowing the rate of the photocopier, which is 1000 copies per 45 minutes, we can determine the time required for 6600 pages:
- (6600 pages ÷ 1000 pages) × 45 minutes = 6.6 × 45 minutes
- 6.6 × 45 minutes = 297 minutes
Therefore, it will take 297 minutes to complete 6600 copies.
