How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? ** The mailman has 48 pieces of junk mail / 8 houses = <<48/8=6>>6 pieces per house.
How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? ** The houses with white mailboxes get 2 * 6 pieces = <<2*6=12>>12 pieces of junk mail.
How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? ** The houses with red mailboxes get 3 * 6 pieces = <<3*6=18>>18 pieces of junk mail.
How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? ** The houses with red and white mailboxes will get a total of 12 + 18 = <<12+18=30>>30 pieces of junk mail.
How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? ** 30/5 = <<30/5=6>>6 pieces of junk mail each
