Question

Max delivers 8,520 pieces of mail in one year. If he delivers the same number of pieces of mail each month, about how many pieces of mail does he deliver in 2 months? Solve the problem and explain the steps you took to solve.​

Answer 1

Because there are 12 months in a year the ratio of the number of pieces of mail Max delivers in 12 months can be written as: 852012 or 7101 (720 pieces of mail per month).

Answer 2

He would deliver 1420 mails in 2 month's

Explanation:

First, I divided 8,520 by 12 because 12 month's in one 1 year

Then, I get 710, that is the amount he delivers each month

Lastly, I multiply 710 by 2 because that is the amount for 2 month's and it equals 1,420 so, the answer is 1,420 :)
