In an activity, Linda collected 408 erasers. She collected 4 times as many erasers as Shiyun.
- How many erasers did Shiyun collect?
- How many more erasers did Linda collect than Shiyun?
(a)
Number of erasers that Shiyun collected = 1 u
Number of erasers that Linda collected = 4 u = 408
4 u = 408
1 u = 408 ÷ 4 = 102
Number of erasers that Shiyun collected
= 1 u
= 102
(b)
Number of erasers that Linda collected more than Shiyun
= 408 - 102
= 306
Answer(s): (a) 102; (b) 306
