Answer

216\text{216}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Set up the equation.

    Let TT be the total number of stickers needed to complete the album. Isa has collected 135 stickers, which represent 58\frac{5}{8} of the total.

    135=58×T135 = \frac{5}{8} \times T
  2. Solve for TT.

    To find the total number of stickers, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 58\frac{5}{8}, which is 85\frac{8}{5}.

    T=135×85T = 135 \times \frac{8}{5}
  3. Calculate the total number of stickers.

    T=135×85T = \frac{135 \times 8}{5} T=10805T = \frac{1080}{5} T=216T = 216

    The total number of stickers for the album is 216.

    The total number of stickers for the album is 216\text{216}.
