Answer 1

Answer:

18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Each clerk does 2 papers each. Meaning ONE clerk can write TWO papers by himself in 12 days (which is pitiful). I got this by dividing the 6 papers by the number of clerks. Which made 2. So, if it takes 12 days for ONE clerk to make TWO papers, divide 2 by 12 which will be 6. Add 6 to 12.

  12 (days ONE clerk wasted to make TWO papers)

+   6 (days it takes for ONE clerk to produce ONE paper)

 18 days total.
