Question

Molly’s sister has 475 stickers that she wants to put in a book. Each page can hold 38 stickers. How many pages will she need? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Explanation:

12.5 because you have to divide to find out how much stickers could fit in each book.

475 ÷ 38 = 12.5

Answer 2

13 pages

Explanation:

Divide the total number of stickers from the amount of stickers that are placed in a page.

475/38 = 12.5

After dividing, we see that 12 1/2 pages are needed. However, you cannot have "half a page", and so you need to round up.

13 is your answer
