Question

Landscape elementary uses 14 teams of paper every 3 weeks. How many reams of paper do they use each week? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To find out how many reams of paper the school uses each week, we need to divide the total number of teams by the number of weeks.

14 teams / 3 weeks = <<14/3=4.67>>4.67 teams/week

Since there are 500 sheets in a ream of paper, we can multiply the number of teams by the number of reams in a team to find out how many reams are used each week.

4.67 teams * 1 ream/team = <<4.67*1=4.67>>4.67 reams/week.

So Landscape uses approximately 4.67 reams of paper each week.
