A principal evenly distributes 6 reams of copy paper to 8 fifth-grade teachers How many reams of paper does each fifth-grade teacher receive? b. If there were twice as many reams of paper and half as many teachers, how would the amount each teacher receives change?

a. 0.75 reams

b. The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by 2.25 reams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total reams of copy paper = 6

Number of fifth-grade teachers = 8

a. Number of reams collected by each teacher =

                                                    =

                                                    =

                                                    = 0.75 reams

b. Twice as many reams of paper = 2 x 6

                                                        = 12

Half as many teachers = x 8

                                      = 4

Number of reams collected by each teacher =

                                       = 3 reams

The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by;

                                     3 -

                                       =

                                       =

                                      = 2.25 reams

The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by 2.25 reams.

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide

207/8 is the right
