nox - 72 = 2=3 Which twoAs Jan was washing glasses andputting them away, she noticed thatshe could stack 4 glasses on top ofeach other on the cupboard shelf. If shehas 23 glasses to put away, how manyfull stacks of glasses can she make?cle.Astacksrs

Answer 1

Since each stack of glasses contains 4 of them, divide the total amount of glasses over 4 to find how many stacks can be made.

There is a total of 23 glasses. Then, divide 23 over 4:

$\frac{23}{4}$

We can identify the total amount of stacks that can be made if we write the fraction as a mixed fraction:

$\frac{23}{4}=5\frac{3}{4}$

Since the whole number is 5, then, Jan can make 5 full stacks of glasses.

Therefore, the answer is: 5 stacks.
