In an activity, Natalie collected 282 stickers. She collected 6 times as many stickers as Gillian.
- How many stickers did Gillian collect?
- How many more stickers did Natalie collect than Gillian?
(a)
Number of stickers that Gillian collected = 1 u
Number of stickers that Natalie collected = 6 u = 282
6 u = 282
1 u = 282 ÷ 6 = 47
Number of stickers that Gillian collected
= 1 u
= 47
(b)
Number of stickers that Natalie collected more than Gillian
= 282 - 47
= 235
Answer(s): (a) 47; (b) 235
