Question

Mallory has 535 E-Mail messages in her Inbox. She sorts them evenly among folders labeled Family, Friends, Work, School, and Recipes. If each folder began with 25messages, How many messages does Mallory put in each folder now

Answer 1

Answer: The number of messages she put in each folder is 107

Explanation:

Given: Mallory has 535 E-Mail messages in her Inbox.

She sorts them evenly among folders labeled Family, Friends, Work, School, and Recipes.

Thus, the number of folder she made = 5

Now, if she evenly divide the number of mails, then the number of messages put in each folder now=
`(535)/(5)=107`

Therefore, the number of messages she put in each folder is 107.
