The table shows the number of books the children had borrowed. A total of 90 books were borrowed by the children.
- How many children borrowed 2 books or less?
- How many children borrowed 5 books?
(a)
Number of children who borrowed 2 books or less
= 2 + 8
= 10
(b)
Total number of books borrowed by each child who borrowed 1 to 4 books each
= 1 x 2 + 2 x 8 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 1
= 25
Number of children who borrowed 5 books each
= (90 - 25) ÷ 5
= 65 ÷ 5
= 13
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 13
