Math Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - Aug. 1, 2021 to Aug. 7, 2021

Aug 1, 2021 | West Covina

 

 

Lower Elementary: 

 

Question: Tyler has a sticker book that is 8 inches wide and 9 inches tall. He has a set of stickers that are each 2 inches wide and 3 inches tall. How many stickers will fit on a page of the sticker book?

 

 

 

 

Answer: 12 stickers

 

 

 

 

Solution: Since each sticker is 2 inches wide and each page is 8 inches wide, that means Tyler can fit 8 ÷ 2 = 4 stickers in each row. Since the page is 9 inches tall and each sticker is 3 inches tall, that means Tyler can fit 9 ÷ 3 = 3 rows of stickers on each page. So, Tyler can fit 4, 8, 12 stickers on each page of his sticker book.
