We can also solve this question with equivalent ratios
We'll first convert 4 minutes to SECONDS in order to use the same units of measurement throughout the solution.
1 minute = 60 seconds
So, 4 minutes = 240 seconds.
Now let's set up and equation using the ratio # of copies/time in seconds
Let x = the number of copies made in 4 minutes (aka 240 seconds)
We get: 2/(1/3) = x/240
Cross multiply to get: (1/3)(x) = (2)(240)
Simplify: x/3 = 480
Multiply both sides by 3 to get: x = 1440

The rate of 2 copies in \(\frac{1}{3}\) second = 6 copies in 1 second.
4 minutes = 4*60 = 240 seconds, thus in 240 seconds the photocopier will make 240*6 = 1,440 copies.
Answer: E.
