Final answer:
It will take a total of 297 minutes for the photocopier to complete 1100 copies each of three separate two-page documents, given its rate of 45 minutes per 1000 copies for a one-page document.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves calculating the time required for a photocopier to make a larger number of copies for multiple documents. The photocopier takes 45 minutes to complete 1000 copies of a 1-page document. However, the manager requires 1100 copies of each of the three separate two-page documents. To find the total time for the photocopying task, we must consider that each document has two pages, and the copier's rate for one page. It will take 45 minutes to copy 1000 pages, so for 1100 pages, it would take:
45 minutes / 1000 pages = 0.045 minutes per page
0.045 minutes per page * 1100 pages = 49.5 minutes for one two-page document
Since there are three separate two-page documents, the time needed will be:
49.5 minutes * 2 pages * 3 documents = 297 minutes
Therefore, the total time required to complete all the copies is 297 minutes.
