A printer is printing photos. For every 8 photos, the printer takes 2 minutes.
Complete the table below showing the number of photos and the time it takes to print them.
Number of Photos | Time taken (minutes)
-----------------------------------
8 | 2
16 | 4
24 | 6
32 | 8
40 | 10
48 | 12
56 | 14
64 | 16

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Number of Photos | Time taken (minutes)
-----------------------------------
8 | 2
16 | 4
24 | 6
32 | 8
40 | 10
48 | 12
56 | 14

Each additional 8 photos will take an additional 2 minutes to print.
To complete the table, we need to calculate the number of photos and the time it takes to print them for different scenarios. Let's start by assuming we want to print a certain number of photos n.
Number of photos (n) Time taken (t)
1 1/4 minutes
2 1/4 minutes
3 1/4 minutes
4 1/4 minutes
5 1/4 minutes
6 1/4 minutes
7 1/4 minutes
8 1/4 minutes
9 1/2 minutes
10 1/2 minutes
11 1/2 minutes
12 1/2 minutes
13 1/2 minutes
14 1/2 minutes
15 1/2 minutes
16 1/2 minutes
From the pattern observed, we can see that for every 8 photos, the printer takes 1/4 minutes. After 8 photos, for every additional photo, the printer takes another 1/4 minutes.
To complete the table, we need to calculate the time it takes to print for different numbers of photos. From the given information, we know that for every 8 photos, it takes 2 minutes.
To find the time it takes for fewer than 8 photos, we need to calculate the proportion. We can do this by dividing the number of photos by 8 and then multiplying it by 2.
Let's fill out the table:
Number of Photos | Time (in minutes)
-----------------------------------
0 | 0
1 | (1/8) * 2 = 0.25
2 | (2/8) * 2 = 0.5
3 | (3/8) * 2 = 0.75
4 | (4/8) * 2 = 1
5 | (5/8) * 2 = 1.25
6 | (6/8) * 2 = 1.5
7 | (7/8) * 2 = 1.75
8 | 2
9 | (9/8) * 2 ≈ 2.25
10 | (10/8) * 2 ≈ 2.5
And so on. You can continue to calculate the time for any number of photos by dividing the number of photos by 8 and then multiplying it by 2.
