Madeline has used 50 sheets of a roll of paper towels, which is 5/8 of the entire roll. The euation 5/8s = 50 can be used to find the number of sheets s in a full roll. Determine whether s = 32, or s =80 is a solution of the equation, and tell what the solution means. i do not understand this please help me.

s is equal to 80 because s represents the number of sheets in a full roll of paper meaning that 5/8ths of 80 is 50 sheets which Madeline used.
