Answer:
30page essay/min
Explanation:
Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.
Speed = Distance/Time
If the library made a copy of leslie's 3 page essay in just 1/10 of a minute, this means that she made 3 pages in (1/10 * 60)secs i.e 6secs
To get the speed, we need to calculate the amount of page of essay that are produced in a minute (60secs).
If 3 page essay = 6secs
x page essay = 60 secs
cross multiply
3*60 = 6x
180 = 6x
x = 180/6
x = 30
This shows that 30 page essays are produced in just a minute. Hence the speed of the copy machine is 30page essay/min.
