Rewrite the length as an improper fraction.

21 7/8 = 175/8

Write the quantity of stamps as a fraction: 25/1

Divide length by number of stamps:

175/8 / 25/1

When dividing by a fraction change the sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:

175/8 x 1/25.

Now multiply numerators and then denominators:

(175 x1) / (8x 25) = 175/200

Simplify to 7/8

Each stamp is 7/8 inches long
