Answer 1

To find the average number of orders put on hold per month over six months, divide the total orders (82) by the number of months (6), resulting in approximately 14 orders per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many orders were put on hold each month over the past six months, we calculate the average per month. We take the total number of orders put on hold and divide by the number of months.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1. Find the total number of orders put on hold: 82 orders.
2. Determine the number of months: 6 months.
3. Divide the total number of orders by the number of months to find the average:
   82 orders ÷ 6 months = 13.67 orders per month.

After rounding to the nearest whole number, we get approximately 14 orders put on hold each month.
