Question

A paper manufacturer is evaluating their packing procedures. Currently, they package twelve reams of paper in a box—in three stacks of four reams. However, their company has been getting complaints from the retail stores that the box is too large and heavy for the average consumer to carry by their self. So, they have decided to reduce the weight of each box by ten pounds. You have been asked to explore the different packing options based on the new weight condition and present your recommendation to the CEO of the paper company. Calculate the volume of each box you described in the three ways to package the reams of paper. Are you surprised by the results? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

plese mark me brainlest

Answer 2

Answer:

each ream weighs 5p thus reducing 10p means 2 reams are removed from twelve remaining ten.

10reams wont fit in 3 three stacks since it wont be a symmetric arrangement as 1 will be left out so 2 stacks of 5 each will be easy to carry but the stacks  be placed in such a way that the length are parallel to one another and not in line which would increase the length making longer
