The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Oscar wanted to give 12 of his Mexico stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Oscar, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
(A) Ava → 139 + 98 = 237
(B) Ben → 53 + 100 = 153
(C) Raeann → 160 + 68 = 228
(D) Oscar → 72 + 125 = 197
Ava (A) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Mexico stamps that Oscar had = 2 u
2 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 3 = 36
Number of stamps that each child received
= 36 ÷ 3
= 12
Answer(s): (a) A; (b) 12
