Answer: 8 posters

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Lincoln has 16 pins in one box and 17 pins in another box and that he uses 4 pins to hang each posters posted. The total number of posters he can hang with the pins goes thus:

We should first calculate the total number of pins he has.

= 16 + 17 = 33 pins

Since he uses 4 pins to hang a poster, we then divide 33 pins by 4.

= 33 ÷ 4

= 8.25

This means that he can hang 8 posters with the pin
