The school's computer lab goes through 5 reams of printer paper every 2 weeks Find out how long 6 cases of premier paper is likely to last. a case of paper holds 8 reams of paper. round to the nearest whole number as needed

Sagot :

We must remember that a ream is the same of 500 paper sheet.

So, 5 reams means that we have 5 x 500 = 2,500 printer paper sheet every 2 weeks.

If we have 6 cases of premier paper we'll get 6 x 8 = 48 reams of paper.

That means there are 48 x 500 = 24,000 paper sheet.

2,500 paper sheet ------------- 2 weeks

24,000 paper sheet ----------- y weeks

2,500y = 2 x 24,000

2,500y = 48,000

y = 48,000 / 2,500

y = 19 weeks

So, 6 cases of premier paper will last 19 weeks. That's our final answer.
