The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Tim wanted to give 15 of his Maldives stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Tim, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Emily → 137 + 97 = 234
(B) Warren → 51 + 107 = 158
(C) Usha → 132 + 76 = 208
(D) Tim → 60 + 112 = 172
Emily (A) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Maldives stamps that Tim had = 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 3 = 12
Number of stamps that each child received
= 12 ÷ 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 4
