In an activity, Xandra collected 264 erasers. She collected 4 times as many erasers as Olivia.
- How many erasers did Olivia collect?
- How many more erasers did Xandra collect than Olivia?
(a)
Number of erasers that Olivia collected = 1 u
Number of erasers that Xandra collected = 4 u = 264
4 u = 264
1 u = 264 ÷ 4 = 66
Number of erasers that Olivia collected
= 1 u
= 66
(b)
Number of erasers that Xandra collected more than Olivia
= 264 - 66
= 198
Answer(s): (a) 66; (b) 198
