In an activity, Elyse collected 376 buttons. She collected 4 times as many buttons as Roshel.
- How many buttons did Roshel collect?
- How many more buttons did Elyse collect than Roshel?
(a)
Number of buttons that Roshel collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Elyse collected = 4 u = 376
4 u = 376
1 u = 376 ÷ 4 = 94
Number of buttons that Roshel collected
= 1 u
= 94
(b)
Number of buttons that Elyse collected more than Roshel
= 376 - 94
= 282
Answer(s): (a) 94; (b) 282
