In an activity, Cindy collected 376 beads. She collected 8 times as many beads as Barbara.
- How many beads did Barbara collect?
- How many more beads did Cindy collect than Barbara?
(a)
Number of beads that Barbara collected = 1 u
Number of beads that Cindy collected = 8 u = 376
8 u = 376
1 u = 376 ÷ 8 = 47
Number of beads that Barbara collected
= 1 u
= 47
(b)
Number of beads that Cindy collected more than Barbara
= 376 - 47
= 329
Answer(s): (a) 47; (b) 329
