1. Jade bought 7 packets of 15 stickers. She wants to paste an equal number of stickers on the blank pages of her diary. If there are 35 blank pages in her diary, how many stickers will she paste on each page?
- First, calculate the total number of stickers: 7 packets × 15 stickers per packet = 105 stickers.
- Then, divide the total stickers by the number of blank pages: 105 stickers ÷ 35 pages = 3 stickers per page.
2. Rosa is drawing shapes on a square canvas with each side 12 inches long. She makes 4 rectangles and 2 squares. If all the shapes have the same area, what is the area of each shape in square inches?
- First, calculate the total area of the canvas: 12 inches × 12 inches = 144 square inches.
- Then, find the total number of shapes: 4 rectangles + 2 squares = 6 shapes.
- Finally, divide the total area by the number of shapes: 144 square inches ÷ 6 shapes = 24 square inches per shape.
