Question

Sarah and Rico both collect rocks. If Sarah has three times as many rocks as Rico, and she has 84 rocks, how many rocks does Rico have?

Answer 1

So this is how I would do it, take 84, divide it by 3 and you will get 28, so that means that Rico has 28 rocks

Answer 2

So you have to divide 84 by 3 because she has 3 times more than Rico which gives you 28. Rico has 28 rocks
