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? Answer and show your work.

Answer 1

The answer is 1420 because 8,520 divided by 12( there is 12 months in a year) is 710 that means each month he delivers 710 pieces of mail. Then, multiply it by 2 ( for the 2 months) and you get the product of 1420.

Answer 2

You calculate the number of delivered mails in one month then multiply it with 2.

8520 / 12 = 710 (12 months in a year)

710 * 2 = 1420
