Dwayne · Answer 1

No. He has enough for 36 students, not for 37.

He needs another 40 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

1440/40 = 36

He has enough paper to make exactly 36 packets of 40 pages each.

He needs another 40 pages.

Macias · Answer 2

1440/40 = 36

there are only 36 packets

he will need 1 more packet

Each packet contains 40 pages

so he will need 40 more pieces of scrap paper
