Question

A color printer prints
23
pages in
8
minutes. How many pages does it print per minute?

Answer 1

23/8=2.875

Answer 2

So it cannot print 3 pages per minutes.

Answer 3

How many can it print per minute?

Answer 4

Since the printer can print 23 pages in 8 minutes, you must make a ratio to figure out how many it can print in one minute. Set this up like so: 23/8 = x/1
No, you can cross multiply and get this: 8x=23...x=2.875...which means it can only print 2 per minute, since you can't print .875 of a paper.
