7 students share some beads.
If 1 student gives up their share,
the rest of the students will get 1 more each.
- How many beads are there altogether?
- How many beads will the rest of the students each get?
(a)
Number of students that can get the extra beads
= 7 - 1
= 6
Number of beads that 1 student gives up
= 1 x 6
= 6
Number of beads altogether
= 7 x 6
= 42
(b)
Number of beads that the rest of the students each will get
= 42 ÷ 6
= 7
Answer(s): (a) 42; (b) 7
