B. 36
To find the number of sheets that Laura is going to fill with her stamps, we first have to find the total number of stamps.
If she has 24 stamps EACH from 6 countries, to get the total, we will multiply
24 x 6 = 144 total number of stamps.
to see how many sheets she will fill we will DIVIDE the total number of stamps by 4 because that is the number she can fit onto One display sheet.
144 ÷ 4 = 36
36 sheets will be used to put four stamps each from a total of 144 stamps.
Twenty-one thousand and sixty-three divided by three is 7021
First, take any number (for this example it will be 492) and add together each digit in the number (4+9+2 = 15). Then take that sum (15) and determine if it is divisible by 3. The original number is divisible by 3 (or 9) if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 (or 9).If a number is a multiplication of 3 consecutive numbers then that number is always divisible by 3. This is useful for when the number takes the form of (n * (n - 1)*(n + 1))Example: 492 (The original number). 4 + 9 + 2 = 15 (Add each individual digit together). 15 is divisible by 3 at which point we can stop. Alternatively we can continue using the same method if the number is still too large: 1 + 5 = 6 (Add each individual digit together). 6 ÷ 3 = 2 (Check to see if the number received is divisible by 3). 492 ÷ 3 = 164 (If the number obtained by using the rule is divisible by 3, then the whole number is divisible by 3)
X = bessie and y = betty
x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375
x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons
y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons
