Answer 1

To find the printing rates in pages per minute for both black-and-white and color printing, we can use the information provided.

1. Black-and-White Printing:

   • The printer prints 48 black-and-white pages in 1.5 minutes.
   • To find the rate in pages per minute, we divide the number of pages by the time in minutes: \[ \text{Rate for Black-and-White} = \frac{48\text{ pages}}{1.5\text{ minutes}} = 32\text{ pages per minute} \]

2. Color Printing:

   • The printer prints 20 color pages in 2.5 minutes.
   • Again, we divide the number of pages by the time in minutes: \[ \text{Rate for Color} = \frac{20\text{ pages}}{2.5\text{ minutes}} = 8\text{ pages per minute} \]

Now we can complete the sentences:

The printer prints 32 pages per minute in black-and-white. The printer prints 8 pages per minute in color.
