A paper manufacturer packages twelve reams of paper in a box—in three stacks of four reams. A ream of paper weighs 5 pounds and
has dimensions of 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 2 inches. Identify three unique ways to package the paper given the new weight condition. Include both the dimensions of the new boxes, as well as a verbal description of how the reams will be packaged. You may include sketches if you wish.
each ream weighs 5p thus reducing 10p means 2 reams are removed from the 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 should be placed in such a way that the length are parallel to one another and not in line which would increase the length making it longer
She is a quarter of the mountain, which is 125 meters. 125 x 4 is 500. the ledge is 425 feet down the mountain. 500 - 425 is 75. When she reaches the ledge, she will be 75 meters above ground.
