Answer:

To complete each welcome packet, it will take a total of 5 minutes to print + 2 minutes to organize + 5 minutes to proofread = 12 minutes.

If it takes 3 minutes to change the ink in the printer every 5 packets, you will need to change the ink in the printer every 5 packets * 12 minutes per packet = 60 minutes.

In total, it will take you 60 minutes to change the ink in the printer + 12 minutes per packet to complete each packet, for a total of 60 minutes + (12 minutes/packet * number of packets) = 72 minutes per packet.

In the time allotted, you have 3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes.

Therefore, you will be able to fully complete 180 minutes / 72 minutes per packet = 2.5 packets.

Rounded down to the nearest whole number, you will be able to fully complete 2 welcome packets in the time allotted.
