The graph shows the number of postcards 3 pupils collected. Study the graph and answer the following.
- Who collected 28 postcards? Give the answer in number. (Eg 1)
- Which 2 pupils collected a total of 48 postcards? Give the answer in numbers. (Eg 1, 2)
- How many postcards must Emily give to Candy so that both of them would have the same number of postcards?
(a)
4 postcards → 1 circle
28 postcards → 28 ÷ 4 = 7 circles
(2) Eliza had 7 circles so she collected 28 postcards.
(b)
Total number of circles represented by 48 postcards
= 48 ÷ 4
= 12
Number of circles that Candy and Eliza had
= 7 + 5
= 12
2 pupils who collected a total of 48 postcards are (2) Eliza and (3) Candy.
(c)
Difference in the number of circles between Emily and Candy
= 6 - 5
= 1
Number of postcards that Emily must give to Candy
= 1 ÷ 2 x 4
= 2
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 2, 3; (c) 2
