Question

If 2500 sheets of paper make a stack that is 3/4 foot(9in.) tall, how many sheets of paper would fit in one of terry’s trays? Round your answer to the nearest 100

Answer 1

Answer:

694.44 sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The height of terry’s trays is $h=2\frac{1}{2}\ in=\frac{2*2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ in$

using proportion

2,500/9=x/(5/2)

x=2,500*(5/2)/9

x=694.44 sheets of paper
