Question

A full strip plus another half of a strip of staples contains 315 staples

Answer 1

Answer:

$210 staples$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve this equation:

$x(fullstrip)+\frac{1}{2}x(halfstrip)=315.$

Combine terms:

$x+\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{3}{2}x \frac{3}{2}x=315$

$x=315*\frac{2}{3}$

$x=210$

So a full strip contains 210 staples.
