1. **State the problem:** A printer prints $\frac{2}{3}$ of a page in $\frac{1}{8}$ of a minute. We want to find how many pages it prints in 1 full minute.
2. **Formula used:** To find the number of pages printed in 1 minute, use the unit rate formula:
$$\text{Pages per minute} = \frac{\text{Pages printed}}{\text{Time in minutes}}$$
3. **Calculate pages per minute:**
$$\text{Pages per minute} = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{8}}$$
4. **Divide the fractions:**
$$\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{8}} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{8}{1}$$
5. **Multiply numerators and denominators:**
$$= \frac{2 \times 8}{3 \times 1} = \frac{16}{3}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction if needed:** $\frac{16}{3}$ is an improper fraction and can be written as a mixed number:
$$\frac{16}{3} = 5 \frac{1}{3}$$
7. **Interpretation:** The printer prints $\frac{16}{3}$ pages or approximately 5.33 pages in 1 minute.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{16}{3} \text{ pages per minute}}$$
