Soon Yee was putting together her notebook after the first day of
school. She bought a pack of 200 sheets of loose-leaf notebook
paper and some dividers. She wanted to put the same amount of
paper in each of the four sections for her core subjects: math,
history, English and science. She figured that herſtwaelective
courses (art and music) each only needed half bf the amount of
paper that a core subject needed. How many sheets of paper did
she put into the art section of her notebook?

Respuesta :

Answer: Since her art and music sections each only had half the number of sheets of paper as a core subject, together the two sections had the same amount of paper as a core subject. Therefore, it is almost like her notebook had five core subjects, rather than four core subjects and two electives. If she divided the 200 sheets equally among the five core subjects, there would be 200 ÷ 5 = 40 sheets in each section. Now we can see that art would actually have half of this amount, or 20 sheets of paper.
