The table shows the number of books the children had borrowed. A total of 87 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
= 3 + 4
= 7
(b)
Total number of books borrowed by each child who borrowed 1 to 4 books each
= 1 x 3 + 2 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 4 x 3
= 32
Number of children who borrowed 5 books each
= (87 - 32) ÷ 5
= 55 ÷ 5
= 11
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 11
