In an activity, Elyse collected 366 beads. She collected 3 times as many beads as Emma.
- How many beads did Emma collect?
- How many more beads did Elyse collect than Emma?
(a)
Number of beads that Emma collected = 1 u
Number of beads that Elyse collected = 3 u = 366
3 u = 366
1 u = 366 ÷ 3 = 122
Number of beads that Emma collected
= 1 u
= 122
(b)
Number of beads that Elyse collected more than Emma
= 366 - 122
= 244
Answer(s): (a) 122; (b) 244
