Final answer:
To calculate the pieces of mail delivered in 30 days, find the daily rate by dividing 19,200 by 6, resulting in 3,200 pieces per day, then multiply by 30 to get 96,000 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking us to calculate how many pieces of mail are delivered in 30 days, given that 19,200 pieces of mail are delivered in six days. To find this, we need to determine the average number of pieces of mail delivered per day, and then multiply this by the number of days in question.
First, we calculate the daily delivery amount:
- Divide the total pieces of mail by the number of days to find the daily amount: 19,200 ÷ 6 = 3,200 pieces of mail per day.
- Multiply the daily delivery amount by 30 to find the total for 30 days: 3,200 × 30 = 96,000 pieces of mail.
Therefore, the mail carrier would deliver 96,000 pieces of mail in 30 days if the rate remains constant.
