Question

A librarian took 81 magazines and arranged them in stacks such that each stack has 9 magazines. Find the number of stacks?

• A. 9
• B. 10
• C. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 9

Total number of magazines = 81
Number of magazines each stack has = 9
Total number of magazines = Number of magazines each stack has × Number of stacks
81 = 9 × Number of stacks
Number of stacks = 81 ÷ 9 = 9
$\therefore$ The number of stacks equals 9
