Aimi is making valentine’s day cards for everyone in her class. she plans to use a whole sheet of paper for each of her 6 closest friends. she will use 1/8 of a sheet of paper for everyone else in the class. she has 34 sheets of paper. how many of the smaller cards can she make?

34 - 6 = 28
28 x 8 = 224

After making the 6 whole sheet of paper cards for her closest friends Aimi will have 28 pieces of paper left.

Since she wants to use 1/8 of a sheet per valentine (think of it as one piece of paper can make 8 valentines) you can do 28 pieces of paper multiplied by 8 which gives you 224 valentines.
