In an activity, Risa collected 222 beads. She collected 6 times as many beads as Dana.
- How many beads did Dana collect?
- How many more beads did Risa collect than Dana?
(a)
Number of beads that Dana collected = 1 u
Number of beads that Risa collected = 6 u = 222
6 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 6 = 37
Number of beads that Dana collected
= 1 u
= 37
(b)
Number of beads that Risa collected more than Dana
= 222 - 37
= 185
Answer(s): (a) 37; (b) 185
