Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? How many orders, on average, were delayed each month, if orders were delayed over months? Watch out! Don't mix up the number of months and the number of orders!
STEP 2
1. Divide to find orders per month.
STEP 3
Alright students, let's **dive** into this problem!
We're given that orders were put on hold over months.
We want to find out how many orders *per month* were put on hold. "Per month" is a big clue, it tells us we need to divide!
STEP 4
So, we'll **divide** the **total number of orders** () by the **number of months** ().
This will give us the average number of orders put on hold each month.
STEP 5
Let's do the math!
STEP 6
So, approximately orders were put on hold each month.
Since the problem asks for "about" how many, we can round to the nearest whole number, which is .
STEP 7
The answer is B, about orders were put on hold each month.
