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.
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.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine how many pages are printed per minute. To do this, we divide the number of pages printed by the time in minutes.
In this case, the copy machine prints 175 pages in 5 minutes. So, the unit rate is:
Unit Rate = Total pages printed / Time in minutes
Unit Rate = 175 pages / 5 minutes
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5:
Unit Rate = (175 pages / 5 minutes) รท (5 minutes / 5 minutes)
Unit Rate = 35 pages / 1 minute
So, the unit rate is 35 pages per minute.
The unit rate represents the number of pages printed per minute. To find the unit rate, we can divide the number of pages printed by the time taken.
Unit rate = Number of pages printed / Time taken
Unit rate = 175 pages / 5 minutes
Unit rate = 35 pages/minute
Therefore, the unit rate is 35 pages per minute.
