In an activity, Zara collected 468 buttons. She collected 9 times as many buttons as Sabrina.
- How many buttons did Sabrina collect?
- How many more buttons did Zara collect than Sabrina?
(a)
Number of buttons that Sabrina collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Zara collected = 9 u = 468
9 u = 468
1 u = 468 ÷ 9 = 52
Number of buttons that Sabrina collected
= 1 u
= 52
(b)
Number of buttons that Zara collected more than Sabrina
= 468 - 52
= 416
Answer(s): (a) 52; (b) 416
