Final answer:

Granny has 11 stickers. The number of grandkids Granny has cannot be determined from the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many stickers Granny has and how many grandkids she has, we need to set up and solve a simple algebra problem. Let's let x represent the number of stickers Granny has originally.

If Granny gives away 6 stickers and then has 5 left, we can write the equation x - 6 = 5. Solving this equation gives us x = 11. Thus, Granny has 11 stickers.

Now, if Granny were to give away 7 stickers instead, we are told she would need 2 more. This implies that giving away 7 stickers would leave her with a negative number of stickers, specifically x - 7 = -2. If we solve for x in this equation, we also get x = 11, confirming our previous result.

Regarding the number of grandkids Granny has, we don't have enough information to answer that question. The question only describes what happens when Granny gives away a certain number of stickers, not how they are distributed among the grandkids.
