Question

A paper company produces 2,000 notebooks in 2 days. How many notebooks can it produce
in 10 days? (2 points)

O 2,000
O 9,948
O 1,785
O 10,000

Answer 1

Answer:

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Method A:

10/2 = 5

10 days is 5 times 2 days, so in 10 days, it can produce 5 times the number it produces in 2 days.

5 × 2,000 = 10,000

Method B:

Use a proportion.

2000/2 = x/10

1000 = x/10

x = 1000 × 10

x = 10,000
