The print company requires 78960 pages per day.

SOLUTION:

Given, a print company takes 47 orders every 0.5 hours.

The average order is for 35 pages.

We need to find how many sheets of paper does the company need per day?

Now, let us calculate the total orders per day.

Orders per day = number of time intervals x number of orders in that time.

`= (24 hours)/(0.5) * 47 orders`

= 48 x 47 = 2256

So, in a day, company takes 2256 orders.

And, each order requires 35 pages on an average.

So, pages required in one day = number of orders x number of pages per order.

= 2256 x 35 = 78960 pages

Hence, the company requires 78960 pages per day.
