OC 600 packages
OD.
800 packages

Answer 1

A. 200 packages

Explanation:

The number of packages per roll can be found by dividing the length of a roll by the length of tape needed for each package.

__

For each package:

(2.375 in/piece)×(4 piece/package) = 9.5 in/package

Per roll:

(1900 in/roll) / (9.5 in/package) = (1900/9.5) packages/roll

= 200 packages/roll

The machine can seal 200 packages with a roll of tape 1900 inches long.
