Answer 1

To find out how many boxes were packed per minute, you can divide the total number of boxes by the total time in minutes.

Number of boxes = 50
Time in minutes = 20

Boxes packed per minute = Total boxes / Total time
Boxes packed per minute = 50 boxes / 20 minutes = 2.5 boxes/minute

Therefore, the correct response is:

**2.5 boxes/minute**
