In an activity, Vanessa collected 434 buttons. She collected 7 times as many buttons as Abi.
- How many buttons did Abi collect?
- How many more buttons did Vanessa collect than Abi?
(a)
Number of buttons that Abi collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Vanessa collected = 7 u = 434
7 u = 434
1 u = 434 ÷ 7 = 62
Number of buttons that Abi collected
= 1 u
= 62
(b)
Number of buttons that Vanessa collected more than Abi
= 434 - 62
= 372
Answer(s): (a) 62; (b) 372
