Answer 1

To determine how the printing rates of Printers A and B compare, let's analyze the choices based on the given information.

- We know Printer B prints at a rate of 25 pages per minute.
- We need to refer to the graph to establish Printer A's printing rate.

If we assume Printer A's printing rate is 15 pages per minute (as suggested in option B), then:

- The printing rate for Printer A is 15 pages per minute.
- The printing rate for Printer B is 25 pages per minute.

So, if this assumption is true, we can confirm that:

- Option B is correct (the printing rate of Printer A is 15 pages per minute, and the printing rate of Printer B is 25 pages per minute).
- Option C is also correct (the printing rate of Printer A is less than that of Printer B).

To summarize the applicable answer choices based on this reasoning:

**B.** The printing rate of printer A is 15 pages in a minute and the printing rate of Printer B is 25 pages in a minute.
**C.** The printing rate of printer A is less than the printing rate of printer B.
