Question

a newspaper has more than 30 pages in fewer than 40 pages newspaper is divided into 8 sections how many sections does a newspaper have

Answer 1

There would be 8 sections, and the only multiple of 8 between 30 and 49 is 32, and 8 goes into 32 4 times, so each section has 4 pages.

Answer 2

4 sections.

Explanation:

Let n represent number of pages in the newspaper.

We have been given that a newspaper has more than 30 pages and fewer than 40 pages.

This means that 'n' is greater than 30 and less than 40. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

`30<n<40`

We are also told that the newspaper is divided into 8 sections. Let us divide our inequality by 8 to find the number of sections as:

`(30)/(8)<(n)/(8)<(40)/(8)`

`3.75<(n)/(8)<5`

The number of sections
`(n)/(8)` in the newspaper would be greater than 3.75 and less than 5.

Since 4 satisfies our given situation, therefore, the newspaper has 4 sections.
