Answer 1

6000×12/400

= 180

= 180 notebooks can be made from 6000 sheets of paper

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer questions of this nature, we should use algebra to frame the question or context.

Let n be number of notebooks made:

$400n \div 12 = 6000$n

400n = 72000

n = 180

Number of notebooks that can be made is 180.

Rationale: On the left side of the equation, 400n is the number of pages, dividing it by 12 gives total number of sheets. On the right side of the equation, 6000n gives total number of sheets required.

There are 2 things that is confusing in this question. Please clarify:

1) Why a sheet can make 12 pages rather than just 2?

2) The question only tells us that you need 6000 sheet of papers to make a notebook, rather than giving us the exact number of sheets available. This is why I can only assume that there is exactly 6000 sheets of papers (i.e. n=1)

Hope it helps :)
