Answer 1

14 months

Explanation:

Here we are interested in calculating the number of months it will take the food kitchen to exhaust the 283,482 soup cans donated to it by a school of it uses 20,000 cans of soup.

This is pretty straightforward, trust me!

What needs to be done here is to simply divide the total number of soup cans donated by the school by the number of soup cans used by the food kitchen each month.

Mathematically, that would be;

283,482/20,000

A calculator would work here? Right?

And the division equals 14.1741

And to the nearest whole number, that is 14.

And yes there would surely be some left, carried over to the 15th month, but would that sustain them for the month? No
