Candle stubs can be remoulded to form new candles. 6 stubs are required for each new candle. If there are 301 candle stubs, how many new candles can possibly be made IN TOTAL?

What you do here is divide 301 by 6:
301/6 =aprox 50.1667
Since .1667 of a candle doesn't exactly count as a candle, your answer is
50.
