Christina has a stamp collection she is very proud of. She buys a frame to display her favorite stamps. The frame is 6 inches wide, and a row of 7 stamps fits perfectly across it.

How wide is each stamp?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.

Answer 1

If 7 stamps fit perfectly, we can find the width of each stamp by dividing the width of the frame by 7:

= 6/7

So, the width of each stamp is 6/7 inches
