Aimi is making Valentine’s Day cards for everyone in her class. She plans to use a whole sheet of paper for each of her 6 closest friends. She will use 1/8 of a sheet of paper for everyone else in the class. She has 34 sheets of paper. How many of the smaller cards can she make?
A. 4 cards
B. 272 cards
C. 3 cards
D. 224 cards
(34 - 6) / (1/8) = ?
224 D
your wellcome
34 whole sheets - 6 whole sheets for her friends = 28
Then you divide 28 by 1/8 to get your answer. Which it is 224. D
To find out how many smaller cards Aimi can make, we need to calculate the number of smaller cards she can make using 1/8 of a sheet of paper for everyone else in the class.
First, let's find the number of friends Aimi has by subtracting her 6 closest friends from the total number of students in the class:
Total number of students in the class - Aimi's 6 closest friends = Number of other students in the class
Let's calculate it:
Total number of students in the class - 6 = Number of other students in the class
Next, let's calculate how many small cards Aimi can make with 1/8 of a sheet of paper for each student:
Number of other students in the class × 1/8
After calculating, we get the following expression:
(Number of other students in the class × 1/8)
To figure out the number of smaller cards Aimi can make, we need to divide the total number of sheets of paper she has by the amount of paper needed for each small card.
Let's calculate it:
Number of sheets of paper ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8)
Based on the given information, Aimi has 34 sheets of paper. Substituting this value into the equation, we have:
34 ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8)
Now, we need to substitute the possible answer choices to find out which one satisfies the equation:
A) Can Aimi make 4 small cards?
34 ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8) = 4
B) Can Aimi make 272 small cards?
34 ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8) = 272
C) Can Aimi make 3 small cards?
34 ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8) = 3
D) Can Aimi make 224 small cards?
34 ÷ (Number of other students in the class × 1/8) = 224
By solving each equation, we can find the answer choice that satisfies the equation.
