Answer 1

50/6 = 8 booklets and 2in left unused

Answer 2

She will have 2 inches of thread left.

Explanation:

Linda uses thread to sew the booklets together, she cuts 6 inches of thread for each booklet.

When she has 50 inches of thread, she will sew
`(50)/(6)= 8.33` rounding to 8 booklets.

That means she will use
`8*6=48` inches of thread.

And she will have left
`50-48=2` inches of thread left.

Yes, she will have 2 inches of thread left.
