Sebastian and Noah had a total of 170 stamps. Noah had 4 times as many stamps as Sebastian.
- How many stamps did Sebastian have?
- How many stamps did Noah have?
(a)
Number of stamps that Sebastian had = 1 u
Number of stamps that Noah had = 4 u
Total number of stamps
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 170
1 u = 170 ÷ 5 = 34
Number of stamps that Sebastian had
= 1 u
= 34
(b)
Number of stamps that Noah had
= 4 u
= 4 x 34
= 136
Answer(s): (a) 34; (b) 136
