The​ school's computer lab goes through 3 reams of printer paper every 2 weeks. Find out how long 5 cases of printer paper is likely to last​ (a case of paper holds 8 reams of​ paper). The 5 cases will last nothing weeks. ​(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

Answer:

26 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If you consider one case of paper then it has 8 reams.

So, if there are 5 cases of printer paper, then it will be equivalent to (5×8) =40 reams of paper.

Now, it is given that within 2 weeks in the school's computer lab 3 reams of printer paper are used.

Therefore, 40 reams i.e. 5 cases of paper will be used in ([tex]\frac{2*40}{3}[/tex]) = 26.67 weeks ≈26 weeks. (Answer)
