In an activity, Vanessa collected 500 beads. She collected 4 times as many beads as Yoko.
- How many beads did Yoko collect?
- How many more beads did Vanessa collect than Yoko?
(a)
Number of beads that Yoko collected = 1 u
Number of beads that Vanessa collected = 4 u = 500
4 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 4 = 125
Number of beads that Yoko collected
= 1 u
= 125
(b)
Number of beads that Vanessa collected more than Yoko
= 500 - 125
= 375
Answer(s): (a) 125; (b) 375
