The rate in lowest terms is______?

Answer 1

0.4 pages per second

24 pages per minute

1 page can be printed every 2.5 seconds

Each answer is technically correct, use the one that's most appropiate

Explanation:

32 pages in 80 seconds

32 / 80 = 0.4 pages per second

0.4 / 1

If they want it in minutes, multiply both sides by 60 seconds

0.4 * 60 / 1 * 60

24 pages per minute
