Question

Frank needs 34 stickers for his art project. The stickers he wants come in bags of 4. How many bags does he need?

Answer 1

From the given information we can formulate the following relationship:

$\frac{x}{34}=\frac{1}{4}$

Where x is the number of bags required in order to get 34 stickers.

From this expression, we can solve for x, to get:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{34}=\frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{x}{34}\times34=\frac{1}{4}\times34 \\ x\times\frac{34}{34}=\frac{34}{4} \\ x\times1=8.5 \\ x\approx9 \end{gathered}$

Then, to get 34 stickers, we need 9 bags
