Question

race organizers have been receiving entry forms at an average of 120 per month for the last 3 months if forms continue to be returned at this pace how many more entries can race organizers expect to receive in the remaining 2 1/2 months before the race

Answer 1

We know the average number of forms per month, this is 120

If we need to know how many more forms will be received in the next 2 1/2 months, we multiply the average number of forms by 2.5

$R_F=120\cdot2.5=300$

The answer is 300 more forms received
