Question

Explain, in your own words, how to solve the problem shown. When finished explaining the steps, write your answer. There are 4,050 newspapers to be delivered in a certain area of town. If 18 newspaper carriers are all delivering the same number of papers, how many will each deliver?

Answer 1

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of newspapers to be delivered = 4050

Total number of carriers to deliver the newspapers = 18

Each newspaper carrier delivers the same number of newspapers.

To find:

The number of newspapers that each newspaper carrier will deliver ?

Solution:

The solution to this problem lies in the language of the problem itself.

As we are given that every newspaper carrier will deliver the same number of newspapers.

Therefore, we need to divide the total number of newspapers i.e. 4050 in 18 (number of newspaper carriers) equal parts.

So, the answer is:

$\dfrac{4050}{18} = \bold{225}$
