A copy machine makes 36 copies per minute.How many copies does it make in 3 minutes and 15 seconds?

1 answer

To find the number of copies the machine makes in 3 minutes and 15 seconds, we can convert 3 minutes and 15 seconds to minutes.

3 minutes and 15 seconds is equivalent to 3 + (15/60) = 3.25 minutes.

Next, we can multiply the number of copies per minute (36) by the number of minutes (3.25) to find the total number of copies made.

36 copies/minute * 3.25 minutes = 117 copies.

Therefore, the copy machine makes 117 copies in 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
