The table shows the number of books the children had borrowed. A total of 83 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
= 6 + 5
= 11
(b)
Total number of books borrowed by each child who borrowed 1 to 4 books each
= 1 x 6 + 2 x 5 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 6
= 43
Number of children who borrowed 5 books each
= (83 - 43) ÷ 5
= 40 ÷ 5
= 8
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 8
