In an activity, Erika collected 408 buttons. She collected 6 times as many buttons as Sabrina.
- How many buttons did Sabrina collect?
- How many more buttons did Erika collect than Sabrina?
(a)
Number of buttons that Sabrina collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Erika collected = 6 u = 408
6 u = 408
1 u = 408 ÷ 6 = 68
Number of buttons that Sabrina collected
= 1 u
= 68
(b)
Number of buttons that Erika collected more than Sabrina
= 408 - 68
= 340
Answer(s): (a) 68; (b) 340
