Solution:
Part: 1
Let the number of stamps with Carson = x and Eduardo = y


So, equation as per given information:


y = x + 16  -- equation 1
1/2x = 1/4y  --equation 2

Through equation 1, we get value of y as x+16

Putting this value of y in equation 2,
1/2x = 1/4 (x+16)

4x = 2(x+16)
4x = 2x+32

By solving, we get x = 16

So, Carson has 16 stamps. And, Eduardo has 16 stamps more than Carson which means Eduardo has 16+16 stamps which gives 32 stamps.

Carson = 16 stamps
Eduardo = 32 stamps.

Part: 2

After giving some stamps, Eduardo has 3/8 of Carson's stamp

3/8 of 16 stamps = 6 stamps

So Eduardo now has 6 stamps.

Initially Eduardo had 32 stamps and he now have 6 stamps. So, 32-6 = 26 stamps have been  given by Eduardo.

Answer: Eduardo gave 26 stamps.

Answer:

The main reason why people left Italy and traveled to America was poverty brought about by unemployment. The dream of earning enough money to return to Italy and buy lands was a great motivator. The journey of 3,000 miles by ship took almost 3 months. They had to pass through the Ellis Island Immigration Center for mental and physical examinations. After the mental and physical examinations, the migrants were sent to a room where they had to answer 32 questions to establish whether they could enter America. Failure in the examinations would mean separation from their families and deportation back to Italy.
