Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to obtain the difference between the two numbers of colored books, 50 and 40.

50 - 40 = 10 notebooks.

We need to calculate how long it will take for this difference to disappear, noting that Steve uses more of the red cover notebooks every month. The difference on a monthly basis is

6 - 4 = 2 notebooks per month

So, now the number of months will be gotten from;

Number of months = \frac{Total Difference}{Monthly Difference}

Number of months = \frac{10}{2} = 5 months

We can check for this,

After 5 months, Steve would have used 5 × 6 red cover notebooks = 30

and 5 × 4 blue cover notebooks = 20

The remaining number of books will be:

RED: 50 - 30 = 20 red cover notebooks

BLUE: 40 - 20 = 20 blue cover notebooks.

Find a average daily rainfall for a 30 days month if the total rainfall during that period was 16.8 inches.
max2010maxim [7]

Average = 0.56 inches

Solution:

Given data: Total rainfall = 16.8 inches

Total number of days for a month = 30

To find the average of the rainfall.

Formula for average:

\text {Average}=\frac{\text {Sum of the observations}}{\text {Total number of observations}}

\text {Average}=\frac{16.8}{30}

            = 0.56 inches

Average = 0.56 inches

Hence, average of daily rainfall is 0.56 inches.
