Question

The office manager of a small office ordered 135 packs of printer paper. Based on average daily use, she knows that the paper will last about 70 days. What graph represents this situation? How many packs of printer paper should the manager expect to have after 15 days?

Answer 1

Answer:

Expected number of packs to be used after 15 days = 28.9 packs

The graph is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of packs of printer paper ordered = 135

Average number of days to use 135 packs = 70 days

Number of packs used per day = 135/70

Number of packs used per day = 1.9286 packs

Expected number of packs to be used after 15 days = 1.9286(15)

Expected number of packs to be used after 15 days = 28.9

The more the number of days, the more the number of packs used. This means that as the number of days increases, the number of packs used also increases.
