Faye was placing 30 pencils into rows with 5 pencils in each row. How many rows could she make?
First, we need to find out how many pencils Faye has in total. 30 pencils is the same as 30/1 pencils, so we can say that Faye has 30/1 pencils in total. 

Next, we need to find out how many pencils are in each row. 5 pencils is the same as 5/1 pencils, so we can say that each row has 5/1 pencils. 

Now, we need to find out how many rows Faye can make. To do this, we need to divide the total number of pencils by the number of pencils in each row. 30/1 pencils divided by 5/1 pencils is the same as 30/5 pencils, which is the same as 6/1 pencils. 6/1 pencils is the same as 6 pencils, so we can say that Faye can make 6 rows. 

Therefore the answer (numeric) is: 

6
