Jamir Cardenas · Answer 1

Division

Step-by-step explanation:

If Elena has 6 TIMES more, then you would need to do 36 divided by 6 to find Shane's amount of stamps.

Cheese · Answer 2

the best operation is the 36 by 6 division

x = 36/6

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If Elena has 6 times more stamps than Shane this means

x = Shane stamp quantity

x * 6 = 36

if we clear the x we will have the easiest way to calculate the amount of Shane's stamps

x * 6 = 36

x = 36 / 6

x = 6

the best operation is the 36 by 6 division
