The Average Number of Words That Can Be Printed on a Standard

question 2

Essay

The average number of words that can be printed on a standard size piece of paper varies inversely with the font size.
a. If 320 words can be printed with a 10-pt size in a particular font, write an equation that relates the average number of words that can be printed to the font size.
b. How many words can be printed with a 12-pt size in this font?
c. If your teacher tells you to use a 12-pt font, and you decide to try to use a 13-pt font instead, what would you expect to happen in terms of the number of words on the page? (And trust me, your teacher WILL notice that you used that larger font and wider margins. You don't want them in a bad mood when they grade your paper!)
