Question

An office uses 478 lb of paper in one week. The paper comes in packages that hold 18 lb of paper each.

How many packages of paper does the office use each week?

Answer 1

To figure this out, we must divide the amount of pounds of paper they use in one week by the amount of pounds of paper in each package.

478 / 18 = 26.555556

So there's your answer, 26.5 packages.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

They use about 26.56 packages of paper in a week.
