Question

PLEASE HELP ME!

Tommy owns 450 stamps, which one-fourth of the amount that Henry owns. How many does Henry own?

Answer 1

If 450 is 1/4 of the amount that Henry has, you can find Henry’s amount by multiplying 450 • 4 which gives you an answer of 1800

Or, if you’re looking for a more complicated way, which I doubt, you can set up the problem as:

1/4x=450 and solve by dividing 450 by 1/4
