The number of cases to be purchased is 2.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

World's Finest Coffee (Decaf) is sold by the case where one case contains 48 6-ounce packages.

First, we need to calculate how many pounds are in each case.

1 pound = 16 ounces

1 case= (48*6)/16

1 case= 18 pounds

Now, the number of cases required each month:

36 pounds = 18*x

x= number of cases

x= 36/18

x= 2

The number of cases to be purchased is 2.
