We know that you can print 24000 pages in 2 hours. So to find how many you can print in one hour divide 24000 by 2 which will get you to 12000. 12000 pages in one hour. But we know that to get from 2:30 to 5:15 you have 2 hrs and 45 min. But then again, 1 hr is equal to 60 min, now we have to do 12000/60 which gets us to 200 pages in one minute. All we have to do now is multiply. 12000 time 2 gets us to 24000 pages, 200 times 45 is 9000. SO now just add 9000+24000= 33000.
