Given the statement:
Liz has 72 stamps in her stamp collection. Risa, who just started her collection, has 9 stamps.
Determine how many times is Liz's collection larger than Risa's.
Solution:
In order to determine the answer, we simply need to divide the total number of stamps in Liz's collection by the number of stamps that Riza have. In this case, we'll divide 72 by 8.
= 72/8
= 9
Final answer:
Liz's collection is 9 times larger than Risa.
