John is printing advertisement flyers for his business on colored sheets of paper. There
are 500 sheets of paper in one ream and a toner cartridge will print 2,000 sheets. John
has 3 toner cartridges and 15 reams of paper. Which will he run out of first?

Respuesta :

Answer:

John will run out of toner cartridges first

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many sheets he can print with the 3 toner cartridges:

3(2000)

= 6000 sheets of paper

Find how many sheets of paper he has:

15(500)

= 7500 sheets of paper

Since 6000 is less than 7500, John will run out of toner cartridges first.
