Ryan has x stamps in his collection if he was 6 times as many stamps as penny, how many stamps does penny have in her collection

Free_Kalibri [48]

The number of stamps with penny in terms of x is $\frac{x}{6}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Ryan has x stamps in his collection

Number of stamps of Ryan = x stamps

Let the stamps with penny be "a"

Ryan has 6 times as many stamps as penny

Therefore,

Number of stamps in Ryan = 6 times as many stamps as penny

$\text{Number of stamps in Ryan } = 6 \times a\\\\x = 6a\\\\a = \frac{x}{6}$

Thus number of stamps with penny in terms of x is $\frac{x}{6}$
