Vanessa buys a strip of 25 postage stamps. The strip of stamps is 21 7/8 inches long. How long is a strip after Vanessa uses 1 stamp?

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The strip is 21 7/8 inches long. You need to make this into an improper fraction so you multiply 21x8= 168 and then add 7 to that which = 175. So the improper fraction is 175/8 (instead of 21 7/8). Now you just divide 175 by 25 which is 7. Each stamp is 7/8 inches long.
