Question

a paper store has 283765 reams of paper to ship if a delivery truck can hold 10000 reams of paper, how many delivery trucks can the paper store fill completely ​

Answer 1

28 trucks.

Explanation:

Total amount of paper available = 283765

Number of paper reams one truck can carry = 10000

Number of trucks that paper store can fill completely =
`(total\ number\ of\ paper\ reams)/(Total\ number\ of\ paper\ reams\ carried\ by\ one\ truck)`

`(total\ number\ of\ paper\ reams)/(Total\ number\ of\ paper\ reams\ carried\ by\ one\ truck) = (283765)/(10000)=28.3765`

Therefore in total 29 trucks will be needed to ship 283765 paper reams. Out of which 28 trucks will be filled completely and one truck will be filled partially.
