A pad of paper comes with 60 sheets. Evelyn uses a pad of paper writing notes at work every week. She takes Monday and Friday off from work. How many sheets of paper does she use per day at work?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Evelyn takes two days a week off from work, so she is at work 7 - 2 = 5 days a week. Thus, she uses 60 / 5 = 12 sheets of paper per day at work.
Thus, the answer is 12.
