Answer 1

To determine the number of sheets of paper in 8 boxes, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the number of sheets in one box:
- Each rim contains 480 sheets.
- Each box holds 12 rims.
- Therefore, the number of sheets in one box is:
\[
480 \text{ sheets/rim} \times 12 \text{ rims/box} = 5760 \text{ sheets/box}
\]

2. Calculate the number of sheets in 8 boxes:
- Each box contains 5760 sheets.
- Therefore, the number of sheets in 8 boxes is:
\[
5760 \text{ sheets/box} \times 8 \text{ boxes} = 46080 \text{ sheets}
\]

So, the number of sheets of paper in 8 boxes is 46,080.
