Question

Each student in the sixth grade will be required to write 4 papers that are each a total of 27 pages long.  If there are 25 students in the sixth grade, approximately how many sheets of paper will the sixth grade need to complete these assignments? Hint: Be sure to estimate enough so that sixth grade will have enough paper to finish the required assignments.

Answer 1

27 x 4 =108 for the amount of paper per student needed u then multiply by the 25 students and u get 2700. There u go

Answer 2

First start with how many papers the students need to complete and how many pages each paper will take. To do this multiply the papers by the pages.

4 papers x 27 pages = 108 pages

Now we know how many pages it will take for one student to complete all 4 papers. We can use this to find out how many pages they need. If it takes 108 pages for one student to complete 4 papers and there are 25 students we can conclude that...

108 pages per student  x  25 students = 2700 pages
