Question

maria has 10 sheets of paper. she cuts some of the sheets into five parts each. after that she has 22 pieces in total. how many sheets did she cut

Answer 1

Answer:

3 sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Number of sheets Maria had = 10

Maria cut sheets into = 5 parts each

After cutting the sheet, the number of the sheets that Maria fad in total = 22

So Maria cut 1 sheet = 5 parts

Therefore, 1 sheet gives 5 pieces

2 sheets gives 10 pieces.

Similarly 3 sheets gives 15 pieces.

So number of sheets left with Maria = 10 - 3

                                                             = 7 sheets

Therefore, now Maria has = 15 + 7

                                            = 22 pieces

Thus, Maria cut 3 sheets of paper.
