Question

Kyle has a notebook for each of his 5 classes. He puts 6 stickers on each of his notebook. There are 10 stickers on each sheet. How many sheets of stickers will Kyle use? Write an equation to solve. Use a variable for the unknown.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 sheets of stickers will Kyle use .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Kyle has a notebook for each of his 5 classes.

He puts 6 stickers on each of his notebook.

Than the total number of sticker uses in notebooks = 6 × 5

                                                                                      = 30

As given

There are 10 stickers on each sheet.

Let us assume that the number of sheets of stickers will Kyle use be x.

Than  

$x = \frac{Total\ number\ of\ sheets\ uses\ in\ notebooks}{Total\ number\ of\ stickers\ in\ each\ sheets}$

Putting the value in above

$x = \frac{30}{10}$

x = 3

Therefore 3 sheets of stickers will Kyle use .

Answer 2

If Kyle wants to put 6 stickers on each of his 5 classroom notebooks, then we simply multiply 6 * 5 to find out how many stickers he will use in total.

6 * 5 = 30

Kyle used 30 stickers total.
Then, to find out how many sheets he used, we will simply divide the total amount of stickers (T) by the amount of stickers on a sheet (S).

T = 30
S = 10

30 / 10 = 3

Kyle used 3 sheets of stickers for his notebooks.
Hope that helped =)
