Question

alicia has 32 stickers. this is 6 times as many as benita. how many stickers does benita have

Answer 1

since it said alicia has more than benita  that means you have to divide. 32÷6≈5. this means she has 5 stikers.

this sign ≈ means about

Answer 2

Let's name the number of stickers Alicia has "a" and Benita as "b". 

Then: a=32

a=6*b  

We know this from the information above. Now we put it together: 

32=6*b

we divide both sides by 6: 

5.333333=b

Benita has 5 stickers.
