Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

A mosaic:

6 sections ==> same number of titles

total titles = 2889

titles in each section = ?

Step 02:

titles in each section.

2889 titles / 6 sections = titles in each section

481.5 = titles in each section

Using multuplication:

481 * 6 = 2886

481* 3 + 482*3 = 2889

The answer is:

6 sections:

3 sections contain = 481 titles

3 sections contain = 482 titles
