Question

My face is red but I hope to get help with this little problem?

To get a discount, I bought 31 bottles of olive oil.

I used them from 11-5-07
through 12-15-09

and I need to know how many bottles I used per month. Do I divide the 31 bottles by 12?

I will appreciate someone's help a lot! Thanks ever so much!

Answer 1

You used them during a period of time longer than a year, right? How many months total? From 11/7/07 - 11/7/09 = 24 months. Then add another 1.3333 months (from 11/7/09-12/15/08 = about 1 1/3 months, right?)

So you'd divide the number of bottles of olive oil by the TOTAL number of months.

Right? What do you get?

Answer 2

Thanks so much! So then I would divide the 31 bottles by 25.33 months? I get with my little adding tablet: 1.2238. Is it right, like one bottle and almost 1/3?

Thank you a lot again!!! :o) Rosedala
