In an activity, Tina collected 255 stickers. She collected 5 times as many stickers as Gillian.
- How many stickers did Gillian collect?
- How many more stickers did Tina collect than Gillian?
(a)
Number of stickers that Gillian collected = 1 u
Number of stickers that Tina collected = 5 u = 255
5 u = 255
1 u = 255 ÷ 5 = 51
Number of stickers that Gillian collected
= 1 u
= 51
(b)
Number of stickers that Tina collected more than Gillian
= 255 - 51
= 204
Answer(s): (a) 51; (b) 204
