I need an simpler explanation of the math problem: Charlie had 5times more stamps than ryan. They have1,608in all. How many more stamps does Charlie have than ryan?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Charlie had 1340 more stamps than Ryan

Step-by-step explanation:

altogether, they have 1608 stamps.

Because if Charlie has 5 times more plus Ryan's portion equals 6 portion total.

Divide 1608 by 6  and that equals 268

Meaning that Ryan has 268 stamps.

To confirm, subtract 268 from 1608

this equals 1340.  

268 * 5 = 1340
