Question

The post office sold 750 stamps yesterday. Of the stamps, 1/5 were postcard stamps. How many were postcard stamps?

Answer 1

150

to solve you have to find 1/5 of 750

so you divide 750 by 5

750÷5=150

if it was anything higher than ⅕ you would just multiply it by that number but in this example its 1 so we dont.
