Acopy machine makes 171 coies in 4 minutes and 45 seconds. how many copies does it make per minute?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

171/(4+0.75) =36

you want it to be in minutes, so calculate the 45 seconds over 60 seconds, which is 0.75. Add that to the 4 minutes, and divide the total number of copies over the time used, and you have speed/minute.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
