Question

Katy has a stamp collection she is very proud of. She buys a frame to display her favorite stamps. The frame is 6 inches wide, and a row of 7 stamps fits perfectly across it. How wide is each stamp?

Answer 1

Width of each stamp =
`(6)/(7)` inches

Explanation:

Given:

Width of frame= 6 inches

Total number of rows of stamps that fits perfectly =7 rows

This means there are 7 stamps in each column.

So 6 inches is divided among 7 stamps.

∴ width of each stamp =
`(6)/(7)` inches
