Question

Lindsay and menonhave 1,240 stickers.menon has 4 times as many stickers as Lindsay.menon decides to have 6 stickers on each page of an album.a.how many stickers does menon have?b.after menon fills some pages in album,how many stickers are left over?c.How many stickers does he need to complete one more page?

Answer 1

a) Menon has 992 stickers. We can find this by writing an algebraic expression for the number of stickers, with x being the number that Lindsay has. This gives us:

x + 4x = 1240

5x = 1240

x = 248

Now we multiply 248 by 4 to get 992.

b) There are 2 stickers left over. First we have to divide 992 by 6, which gives us 165 as a whole number, but then a remainder of 2. That means that there are two stickers left.

c) Menon needs 4 more stickers, as 6 - 2 = 4, and there are 6 stickers per page.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
