D. 6.87

Answer 1

To find out how many packs of paper South Carolina Connections Academy uses each week, we can set up a proportion:

14 packs of paper / 3 weeks = x packs of paper / 1 week

Cross-multiplying, we get:

14 * 1 = 3 * x
14 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 14 / 3
x ≈ 4.67

Therefore, South Carolina Connections Academy uses approximately 4.67 packs of paper each week.

The answer is B. 4.67.
