Faye was placing 30 pencils into rows with 5 pencils in each row. How many rows could she make?
There are 30 pencils. We need to divide them into rows with 5 pencils in each row. 

Let's introduce a variable y that stands for the number of rows. 

We know that there are 5 pencils in each row. So, the total number of pencils is 5y. 

We also know that there are 30 pencils in total. So, 5y=30. 

We can solve this equation for y. We divide both sides by 5. 

y=30/5

y=6

So, Faye can make 6 rows with 5 pencils in each row.
