In an activity, Gabby collected 265 cards. She collected 5 times as many cards as Kimberly.
- How many cards did Kimberly collect?
- How many more cards did Gabby collect than Kimberly?
(a)
Number of cards that Kimberly collected = 1 u
Number of cards that Gabby collected = 5 u = 265
5 u = 265
1 u = 265 ÷ 5 = 53
Number of cards that Kimberly collected
= 1 u
= 53
(b)
Number of cards that Gabby collected more than Kimberly
= 265 - 53
= 212
Answer(s): (a) 53; (b) 212
