Explanation:

Answer 2

`\text{Hence, Norm has 0.746 portion pf ream or he has } (373)/(500) \text{ portion of ream.}`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Number of sheets contained in a ream of paper = 500

Number of sheets Norm has = 373

Portion of ream Norm has =

Formula:

`\text{Portion} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sheets Norm has left from ream}}{\text{Total number of sheets in ream}}`

Portion of ream Norm has =

`\displaystyle(373)/(500)`

Converting into decimal form, we have,

`\displaystyle(373)/(500) = 0.746`

`\text{Hence, Norm has 0.746 portion pf ream or he has } (373)/(500) \text{ portion of ream.}`
