    A full strip and a half of staples = 1 strip + 0.5 strips = 1.5 strips

    1.5 strips = 315 staples

    Divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to find out how many staples are in one strip:

    1.5 strips : 1.5 = 315 staples : 1.5

    1 strip = 210 staples

    Now halve both sides of the equation to find out how many staples there are in half a strip:

    1 strip : 0.5 = 210 staples : 0.5

    0.5 strips = 105 staples

    Therefore, there are 105 staples in half (0.5) a strip.
