Question

An individual is printing new IT manuals for a staff of 17. The IT manuals are 80 pages each. If each ream of paper is 500 pages, how many reams of paper does the individual need to put in the printer to get the job done?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

First multiply the amount of staff by the pages of each IT manual so we can find out how many pages are needed:

80 * 17

1,360 pages are needed.

Now divide the amount of pages needed by each ream of paper to find out how many ream of papers are needed:

1,360 / 500

2.72

This means 3 reams of paper are needed
