stamps

Answer 1

Let's interpret what's being said, and what we have to find out !

Alice has a total of 42 stamps and 5/6 of the stamps are about scenary, so we have been asked how many of the stamps are about scenary.

According to question :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (5)/(6) \: \: of \: \: 42`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (5)/(6) * 42`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5 * 7`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 35`

So, Alice has 35 stamps about scenary !
