Question

The school's computer lab goes through 3 reams of printer paper every 4 weeks. Find out how long 5 cases of printer paper is likely to last (a case of paper holds 8 reams

The 5 cases will last weeks
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.

Answer 1

53 weeks

Explanation:

Given :

Reams of paper used :

3 reams = 4 Week

A case of 5 paper = 8 reams

Hence,

5 cases of paper = (8 * 5) = 40 reams

If :

3 reams = 4 weeks

40 reams = x

Cross multiply :

3x = 40 * 4

3x = 160

x = 160 / 3

x = 53. 333

Approximately 53 weeks (nearest whole number)
