The document has 324 pages, and the machine needs to make 36 complete copies. We can find the total number of pages by multiplying these two values together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total pages = 324 pages per document \u00d7 36 copies<br>Total pages = 11,664 pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we calculate the total time it will take to print all these pages. The problem states that the photocopy machine can copy at a rate of 24 pages per minute. To find the total time in minutes, we divide the total number of pages by the machine&#8217;s speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total time in minutes = 11,664 pages \u00f7 24 pages per minute<br>Total time in minutes = 486 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final step is to convert this total time from minutes into the format of hours and minutes, as shown in the answer choices. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide the total minutes by 60 to find the number of full hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Number of hours = 486 \u00f7 60<br>486 divided by 60 is 8 with a remainder. This means the process takes 8 full hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the remaining minutes, we can multiply the number of hours by 60 and subtract that from the total minutes.<br>Minutes in 8 hours = 8 hours \u00d7 60 minutes per hour = 480 minutes<br>Remaining minutes = 486 total minutes \u2013 480 minutes = 6 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the total time required for the machine to complete the job is 8 hours and 6 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/learnexams-banner5-219.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279730\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is&nbsp;C, 8 hours 6 minutes.
