A warehouse filled with pallets of 3 ft3{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”3 ft3″} bags of mulch must be completely emptied.  The warehouse contains a total of 1400 pallets that must be removed and placed onto trailers for distribution to retail stores.  The number of pallets remaining, P(t), is a function of the time spent moving pallets, t, in hours.  Work continues at a reasonably steady pace until all 1400 pallets are removed.  Using linear regression, the manager found the following algebraic representation for the function: P(t)=-111t+1400{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”P(t)=-111t+1400″}. Use P(t) to predict the number of hours necessary to empty the warehouse.  Round to two decimal places if necessary. _______
