Assuming the envelope consumption is proportional to the number of typists, you have ...
(12 dz)/36 = x/125
125*(12 dz)/36 = x = 41 2/3
An office of 125 typists would use 41 2/3 dozen envelopes per day.
Answer:2.58
Step-by-step explanation:
You would multiply by -4/3. That's cuz to get to 1, you have to cancel out the negative, with another negative. You then have to multiply by the reciprocal.
Hope this helps!
