At a company, a copy machine prints 175 pages in 5 minutes. If the number of pages printed is proportional to the time, in minutes, what is the unit rate? Show your work.

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we need to divide the number of pages printed by the time it takes to print them.

Unit rate = Number of pages printed / Time taken

In this case, we know that the copy machine prints 175 pages in 5 minutes. So,

Unit rate = 175 / 5

Unit rate = 35 pages per minute

Therefore, the unit rate is 35 pages per minute.
