The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Julian wanted to give 14 of his Spain stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Julian, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Emily → 115 + 31 = 146
Julian → 188 + 36 = 224
Rachel → 56 + 195 = 251
John → 91 + 195 = 286
John (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Spain stamps that Julian had = 4 u
4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Number of stamps that each child received
= 9 ÷ 3
= 3
Answer(s): (a) D; (b) 3
