Question

Sarah's mother had 17 small photo albums filled with 73 photos in each. In order to save some space she bought 9 larger albums with each album having 40 pages. If she wanted to put all her pictures into the large album, with the same number of pictures in each, how many pictures should be in each album?

Answer 1

Answer:

137.88 photos in each large album (there won't be a whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

17 albums with 73 photos in each make up:

17 * 73 = 1241 photos in total

New 9 albums with 40 pages in each,

Total Pages = 40*9 = 360 pages

Each page should have:

Each page = 1241/360 = 3.4472

Now, 1 album has 40 pages, so 1 album will have:

3.4472 * 40 =  137.88 photos in each large album
