I’m pretty sure it was Benjamin Franklin.
It is Portugal and France because France had land in North America and Portugal was trying to get as much space as possib<span>le because Spain was also in South America with them. I hope this helps. :)</span>
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.
