Question

Linda had been collecting stamps for 5 weeks and had 25 stamps in her stamp book. Her book holds 64 stamps. She then began purchasing 3 stamps each week.

What was the total number of weeks that it took Linda to fill her stamp book?

Answer 1

25 divided by 5 is 5 so she gave 5 stamps each week
64 divide by 3 would roughly be 12 weeks because otherwise it would be a renainder
12 add 5 equals 17 weeks
So it should take 17 weeks
hope this is right Please ask me if any doubts
Thank you Good Luck
