In an activity, Fanny collected 486 stamps. She collected 6 times as many stamps as Sabrina.
- How many stamps did Sabrina collect?
- How many more stamps did Fanny collect than Sabrina?
(a)
Number of stamps that Sabrina collected = 1 u
Number of stamps that Fanny collected = 6 u = 486
6 u = 486
1 u = 486 ÷ 6 = 81
Number of stamps that Sabrina collected
= 1 u
= 81
(b)
Number of stamps that Fanny collected more than Sabrina
= 486 - 81
= 405
Answer(s): (a) 81; (b) 405
