The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Peter wanted to give 13 of his Ireland stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Peter, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Della → 102 + 39 = 141
Peter → 139 + 27 = 166
Xandra → 96 + 101 = 197
Will → 98 + 136 = 234
Will (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Ireland stamps that Peter had = 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of stamps that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
