a. 0.75 reams

b. The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by 2.25 reams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total reams of copy paper = 6

Number of fifth-grade teachers = 8

a. Number of reams collected by each teacher = $\frac{number of reams}{number of teachers}$

= $\frac{6}{8}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$

= 0.75 reams

b. Twice as many reams of paper = 2 x 6

= 12

Half as many teachers = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 8

= 4

Number of reams collected by each teacher = $\frac{12}{4}$

= 3 reams

The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by;

3 - $\frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{12 - 3}{4}$

= $\frac{9}{4}$

= 2.25 reams

The amount of reams received by each teacher would increase by 2.25 reams.
