The table shows the types of stamps collected by 4 children.
- Who collected the most number of stamps? Choose the letter. (Eg A)
- Jack wanted to give 14 of his Ireland stamps to the other 3 children. If each child received the same number of stamps from Jack, how many stamps did each of them receive?
(a)
Number of stamps collected
Mary → 114 + 45 = 159
Jack → 124 + 36 = 160
Linda → 60 + 113 = 173
John → 63 + 144 = 207
John (D) has the most stamps.
(b)
Number of Ireland stamps that Jack 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
