Question

Rosa tiene 55 hojas de colores y

les encargo a sus dos sobrinas
Thalía y Paulina que hicieran
paquetes con 6 hojas cada uno.
¿Cuántos paquetes podrían hacer
con 55 hojas?​

Answer 1

9 packages

Explanation:

Each package will have 6 sheets, so to find the number of packages for 55 sheets, we can just use a rule of three:

1 package -> 6 sheets

x packages -> 55 sheets

x * 6 = 55 * 1

x = 55 / 6 = 9.17

Rounding down, we have x = 9 packages.

So it can be done a total of 9 packages, and there will be (55 - 9*6) = 1 sheet left.
