Respuesta :

Answer:

123 full pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total\ Stamps = 617\ stamps[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Page = 5\ stamps[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of full page

To do this, we simply divide the total stamps by stamps in each page;

[tex]Pages = \frac{Total\ Stamps}{Each\ Page}[/tex]

[tex]Pages = \frac{617}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Pages = 123.4[/tex]

Then we record only the quotient

The quotient is the digits before the decimal

[tex]Pages = 123[/tex]

Hence, she has 123 full pages
