Question

1. Jorge used 2 7/8 packs of pencils in the first 1/3

of the year. At what rate is Jorge using
pencils

Answer 1

Jorge is using pencils at a rate of 6 packs a year or a rate of 2 packs every four months.

Explanation:

1/3 of a year is four months so that would be 2 packs every four months and if you multiply that by three you’d get 12 month, or one year, and 6 packs of pencils.
