Final answer:
Jerome has a total of 40 stickers, and since he wants to fill an 8-page scrapbook evenly, he would place 5 stickers on each page.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to determine the total number of stickers that Jerome has and then divide that by the number of pages in the scrapbook to find out how many stickers are on each page. Jerome has 23 farm animal stickers and 17 sea animal stickers. Therefore, the total number of stickers is 23 + 17 = 40 stickers.
Jerome wants to place these stickers equally across 8 pages of his scrapbook. We'll need to divide the total number of stickers by the number of pages to get the number of stickers per page:
40 stickers ÷ 8 pages = 5 stickers per page.
So, Jerome put 5 stickers on each page of the scrapbook.
