Michelle has some stamps.her sister has half as much stamps as she does.they have 1,080 stamps in all.how many stamps does Michelle have



Answer :

MX101
ok so there are 2 ppl in this scenario… one of which has half the amount of the other… there for we can divide this TOTAL amount (1,080) by 3
1080 divided by 3 is 360
so her sister has 360 stamps
there r still 2 groups of the problem remaining (360 and 360)
and since her sister was half of what she has.. and her sister has 360
we must add 360 to 360
so the answer is 720
