Word Problem

Question

Bianca's mother had 16 small photo albums filled with 50 photos in each. In order to save some space she bought 5 larger albums with each album having 71 pages. If she wanted to put all her pictures into the large albums, with the same number of pictures in each, how many pictures should be in each album?

Answer 1

She has 16 albums with 50 photos in each.

 

16 x 50 = 800

 

So she has 800 photos, and she wants do divide them evenly between 5 large albums.

 

800 ÷ 5 = 160

 

So there will be 160 photos in each large album.
