In an activity, Jen collected 232 buttons. She collected 4 times as many buttons as Kathy.
- How many buttons did Kathy collect?
- How many more buttons did Jen collect than Kathy?
(a)
Number of buttons that Kathy collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Jen collected = 4 u = 232
4 u = 232
1 u = 232 ÷ 4 = 58
Number of buttons that Kathy collected
= 1 u
= 58
(b)
Number of buttons that Jen collected more than Kathy
= 232 - 58
= 174
Answer(s): (a) 58; (b) 174
