Answer

a. $1$ pages in $1.2$ seconds b. $1.2\times x$ seconds c. $144$ seconds

Work Step by Step

$Rate=\frac{50 pages}{1 minute}=\frac{50 pages}{60 seconds},$ (a). Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by $50,$ $\frac{1pages}{1.2seconds}$ we get. Therefore, $1$ pages in $1.2$ seconds. (b). For $1$ pages in $1.2$ seconds, copying $x$ pages will be in $1.2\times x$ seconds. (c). When $x=120$ pages, copying will be in $1.2(120)=144$ seconds.
