Answer:

She is absolutely correct!

Explanation:

Let the total no. of stickers with Lena be x.

If she sticks 5 stickers per page, the number of pages she will use=
(x)/(5)

If she sticks 10 stickers per page, the number of pages she will use=
(x)/(10)

We all know, that the smaller the denominator the larger the number.

Therefore,
(x)/(5) >(x)/(10)

Condition being that x is a positive quantity which it automatically is.

So, Lena is right in her reasoning that she will use more no. of pages.
