In an activity, Emma collected 465 cards. She collected 5 times as many cards as Gabby.
- How many cards did Gabby collect?
- How many more cards did Emma collect than Gabby?
(a)
Number of cards that Gabby collected = 1 u
Number of cards that Emma collected = 5 u = 465
5 u = 465
1 u = 465 ÷ 5 = 93
Number of cards that Gabby collected
= 1 u
= 93
(b)
Number of cards that Emma collected more than Gabby
= 465 - 93
= 372
Answer(s): (a) 93; (b) 372
