To solve the problem, we can use the formula:

Number of pages = Rate x Time

In this case, the rate of the machine is 12 1/4 pages per minute, which we can write as 49/4 pages per minute. The time is 700 minutes. Therefore:

Number of pages = (49/4) x 700 = 8,575

Therefore, the answer is D) 8,575.
