Question

You end the summer with 132 baseball bats in inventory. You only average sales of 12 bats per week over the next 4 months. How long will your supply of bats last?

Answer 1

11 weeks. Divide 132 by 12.

Answer 2

To solve:

Total bats on hand: 132

12 bats are sold per week for the next 4 weeks

(12)(4) = 48 bats are sold over the next 4 weeks

Next:

Take the 48 bats and divide by 132 to see how long they will last

132/48 = 2.75

The bats will last 2 months and 3 weeks or 11 weeks.
