8423/45=187.177778 should be the right answer

This answer may be simpler than you think. :)

All you need to do is get the 45 to one, and the way you do that is dividing 45 by 45. Whatever you do to one number in the equation, you have to do to the next one. The second part of the problem is to divide 8423 by 45. 

45/45=1
8423/45=187.17 (7 repeating forever), which rounds to 187.18

So, your final answer is 187.17 sheets per minute. 

Thanks so much for the opportunity to answer your question. I hope I helped! :)
