Question

A large pile of books is divided into four equal-sized stacks. How many books are in each pile if there are 156 books total?
A. 93
B. 39
C. 44
D. 156/4

Answer 1

To find out how many books are in each stack, you can divide the total number of books by the number of stacks.

There are a total of 156 books and 4 stacks:

\[
\text{Books in each stack} = \frac{156}{4}
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\frac{156}{4} = 39
\]

So, there are 39 books in each stack.

Thus, the correct answer is **B. 39**.
