A translator has agreed to translate 66 short documents, all approximately the same length, from Urdu to Spanish. The deadline for completion of all 66 documents is the twelfth day from the beginning of the project. For each of the first 9 days of the project, the graph shows the number of documents that she completed during that day.
Based on the information provided, select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement.
According to the graph, during the first 9 days of the project, the translator completed a total of __________ documents.
The graph shows the number of documents completed on each of the first 9 days. So, to find the total number of documents completed during the first 9 days, we can just add the numbers the graph shows for the 9 days.
9: 6
8: 6
7: 4
6: 2
5: 6
4: 3
3: 3
2: 1
1: 5
6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 36
For the first dropdown, select 36.
If she continues to complete documents at exactly the same daily rate as on Days 8 and 9, she will complete the last of the documents __________ the day of the deadline.
For the first dropdown, we found that she completed 36 documents in the first 9 days. So, she has 66 - 36 = 30 documents to go.
Also, she now has 3 days left to the twelfth day, her deadline.
Looking at the graph, we see that she completed documents at the daily rate of 6 documents on days 8 and 9.
At the rate of 6 documents per day, she'll need 5 more days to complete the remaining 30 documents, meaning she'll complete the documents on day 14, rather than on day 12. So, she'll complete the documents 2 days after the deadline.
For the second dropdown, select after.
Correct answer: 36, after

1. The question asks us how many documents have been translated (in 9 days) and if the translator continues at the rate of the 8th and 9th days, when will they finish the project relative to the deadline.
2. To find the total amount of translated documents, we have to add up all the values in the columns. This is equal to 5 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 36.
3. During the 8th and 9th days, the translator did 6 documents each. To get to 66 from 36, which is a difference of 30, it will take \(\frac{30}{6} = 5\) days.
4. 9 + 5 = 14, which is past the deadline.
5. Our answer will be: 36 and after.
