Assume there are 52 weeks in one year.
Since he supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he
needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the office record.
Now after 28 weeks,he has got only 28/2 -6 = 8 orders.
Hence,he needs 26-8 = 18 new orders in the remaining 24= 52-28 weeks to break the office record.
Compute 24 orders/18 weeks = 4/3 orders/week ,
we see that averagely he has a new order for
every 4/3 weeks in the remaining weeks to break the office record.
