Question

Sylvia plans to place 617 stamps in an album. Each page of the album holds 5 stamps. She uses division to find out how many full pages she will have. How many full pages will she have?

Answer 1

Answer:

123 full pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total\ Stamps = 617\ stamps$

$Each\ Page = 5\ stamps$

Required

Determine the number of full page

To do this, we simply divide the total stamps by stamps in each page;

$Pages = \frac{Total\ Stamps}{Each\ Page}$

$Pages = \frac{617}{5}$

$Pages = 123.4$

Then we record only the quotient

The quotient is the digits before the decimal

$Pages = 123$

Hence, she has 123 full pages
