$\square$ pages per minute
Solution
Solution Steps
To find out how many pages the printer prints per minute, we need to divide the total number of pages by the total number of minutes. This will give us the rate of pages printed per minute.
Step 1: Calculate Pages per Minute
To find the number of pages printed per minute, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Pages per minute} = \frac{\text{Total pages}}{\text{Total minutes}} = \frac{23}{10} = 2.3
\]
Final Answer
The printer prints \\(\boxed{2.3}\\) pages per minute.
