Della has 493 stamps in her stamp collection. She can put 16 stamps on each page of her album. How many pages can she fell completely?

Just divide the number of stamps by the number of stamps per page


(493)/(16)=30.8125

She can fill 30 pages completely and have 13 stamps left over.

she can fill 30 pages because 16*30 is 480, so you try 1 up, 16*31 is 496, which is too high, so you go with the highest number you can get without going past 493, and get 30!
