Jacqui has 12 more stamps than karen, and karen has three times as many as lynn. How many does each person have? (a) list the quantities in this problem, and their values: Total number of stamps (b) draw diagrams illustrating the information given in the problem: Jacqui" s stamps +12 twelve more than karen three times as much as lynn unknown unknown unknown. 124 (c) use the diagrams you draw to solve the problem. Combining the three diagrams above together, we will get a picture representing the total number of stamps: The 7 small boxes, plus 12 stamps, represent the total.
