Answer:
8 complete stacks
Step-by-step explanation:
Total magazine = 60
Total books = 42
Each stack will have 7 magazines and 4 books.
Each stack = 7 magazines + 4 books
How many complete stacks of 7 magazines and 4 books can Ms. Martin make?
Number of stack of 7 magazines possible = total magazines / magazines per stack
= 60/7
= 8 4/7
Complete stacks with 7 magazines = 8
Number of stack of 4 books possible = total books / books per stack
= 42/4
= 10 1/2
Complete stacks with 4 books = 10
If 7 magazines on each stacks can make 8 complete stacks
Then, 4 books on each stack can make 8 complete stacks
Note: after 8 stacks using 7 magazines each, magazines will not be available to complete other stacks
