Question

If a paper manufacturer produces 1,250,000 sheets of paper a day, and 5.80×10^6 sheets are used to make 1.45×10^4 school notebooks, how many notebooks can be made each month (30 days)? Round to 3 significant digits and express in engineering notation.

Answer 1

the answer
1,250,000sheets a day
the number of sheet in a month is 30x1,250,000=37500000sheets
5.80×10^6 sheets are used to make 1.45×10^4 notebooks,
so in 30days
5.80×10^6 --------------->1.45×10^4
37500000sheets-------> X= 37500000sheets x 1.45×10^4 / 5.80×10^6

X= 375000sheets x 1.45 / 5.8=93750 notebooks
