Question

Sylvia plans to place 617 stamps in an album. Each page of the album holds 5 stamps. She uses division to find out how many full pages she will have. How many full pages will she have?

Answer 1

123 full pages

Explanation:

Given

`Total\ Stamps = 617\ stamps`

`Each\ Page = 5\ stamps`

Required

Determine the number of full page

To do this, we simply divide the total stamps by stamps in each page;

`Pages = (Total\ Stamps)/(Each\ Page)`

`Pages = (617)/(5)`

`Pages = 123.4`

Then we record only the quotient

The quotient is the digits before the decimal

`Pages = 123`

Hence, she has 123 full pages
