Answer: 50 copies per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A first printing press will print 6,000 copies in 20 minutes.

Then the rate of printing per minute by first press is given by :-

\(\frac{6,000}{20}=300\text{per minute}\)

Also, A second press can print 15,000 copies in 60 minutes.

Then the rate of printing per minute by second press is given by :-

\(\frac{15,000}{60}=250\text{per minute}\)

Clearly, 300> 250

i.e The first press is faster than the second press.

Difference=\(300-250=50\)

Hence, the faster press will print 50 copies per minute more than the slower press.
