In an activity, Kathy collected 344 erasers. She collected 4 times as many erasers as Pamela.
- How many erasers did Pamela collect?
- How many more erasers did Kathy collect than Pamela?
(a)
Number of erasers that Pamela collected = 1 u
Number of erasers that Kathy collected = 4 u = 344
4 u = 344
1 u = 344 ÷ 4 = 86
Number of erasers that Pamela collected
= 1 u
= 86
(b)
Number of erasers that Kathy collected more than Pamela
= 344 - 86
= 258
Answer(s): (a) 86; (b) 258
