Question

A full strip plus another half of a strip of staples contains 315 staples

Answer 1

`210 staples`

Explanation:

Lets solve this equation:

`x(fullstrip)+(1)/(2)x(halfstrip)=315.`

Combine terms:

`x+(1)/(2)x=(3)/(2)x (3)/(2)x=315`

`x=315*(2)/(3)`

`x=210`

So a full strip contains 210 staples.
