Landscape Elementary uses 14 reams of paper every 3 weeks. How many reams of paper do they use each week? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
$$
To find out how many reams of paper Landscape Elementary uses each week, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the number of reams of paper used each week. We can write the proportion:
$\frac{x}{1}$ = $\frac{14}{3}$
To find x, we can cross multiply:
3x = 14
Dividing both sides by 3 gives us:
x = $\frac{14}{3} \approx 4.67$
Therefore, Landscape Elementary uses approximately 4.67 reams of paper each week. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 4.67 reams. Answer: \boxed{4.67}.
To calculate the number of reams of paper used each week, we can use a basic math equation.
Step 1: Determine the number of weeks in a year.
There are 52 weeks in a year.
Step 2: Find the total number of reams used in a year.
Since they use 14 reams every 3 weeks, we can calculate the number of reams used in a year by dividing the total number of weeks in a year (52) by the number of weeks it takes to use 14 reams (3), and then multiplying that by 14 reams.
Total reams used in a year = (52/3) * 14
Step 3: Calculate the number of reams used each week.
To find the number of reams used each week, divide the total reams used in a year by the number of weeks in a year.
Reams used each week = Total reams used in a year / 52
Now we can calculate the answer.
Total reams used in a year = (52/3) * 14 = 249.33
Reams used each week = 249.33 / 52 = 4.79 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, Landscape Elementary uses approximately 4.79 reams of paper each week.
To find the number of reams of paper used each week, we can divide the total number of reams used in 3 weeks by 3.
Total number of reams used in 3 weeks = 14 reams
Number of reams used each week = Total number of reams used in 3 weeks / 3
Number of reams used each week = 14 reams / 3 ≈ 4.67 reams
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Landscape Elementary uses approximately 4.67 reams of paper each week.
