This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.

You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)

Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:

 x = 28 copies.

The final answer is 28 copies per minute
