A paper manufacturer is evaluating their packing procedures. Currently, they package twelve reams of paper in a box—in three sta
cks 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?
