Answer

Final Answer: \( \boxed{4.5} \)

Steps

Step 1 ：We are given that a copy machine makes 24 copies per minute. We need to find out how long it takes for the copy machine to make 108 copies.

Step 2 ：We can find this by dividing the total number of copies (108) by the number of copies made per minute (24).

Step 3 ：Using the formula \( \text{time} = \frac{\text{total copies}}{\text{copies per minute}} \), we substitute the given values into the formula.

Step 4 ：So, \( \text{time} = \frac{108}{24} = 4.5 \) minutes.

Step 5 ：Final Answer: \( \boxed{4.5} \)
