Answer 1

Table A is the correct choice that shows number of scanned pages in 2 minutes

Here, we want to select a table that best displays the number of pages that can be scanned in 2 minutes

Firstly, we need to get the rate at which the scanner is working per minute. This refers to the number of pages it can scan per minute

We have this as;

`\frac{36\text{ pages}}{4\text{ minutes}}\text{ = 9 pages per minute}`

What this mean is that it scans 9 pages in a minute

In two minutes, the number of scanned pages will be;

`2\text{ minutes }*\text{ 9 pages per minute = 18 pages}`

So the correct table is the one that has;

a) 36 pages for 4 minutes

b) 18 pages for 2 minutes

c) 9 pages for 1 minute

The correct table is the first tableOptio
