The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Jenson wanted to give 12 of his China stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Jenson, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Nora → 110 + 20 = 130
Jenson → 156 + 12 = 168
Linda → 53 + 127 = 180
Brandon → 21 + 174 = 195
Brandon (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of China stamps that Jenson had = 2 u
2 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
Number of stamps that each child received
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 2
