Answer:

The pages that will be added to the yearbook to have 2 articles on every 13 pages is 813.8 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if there are 75 submissions and it says Paul will accept [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the submissions.

To find that we have to

                     = [tex]75-\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

                     = [tex]74.6[/tex]

Now multiplying by 13,

                      = 13 x 74.6

                      = 969.8

Then to find the pages that will be added to the yearbook is

                      = 969.8 - 156

                      = 813.8 pages.
