Answer: 2 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, I got my answer by making 3 groups and splitting 7 into them. When you get 1 left over, you separate it into 3, so everyone gets 1/3 of a piece. Therefore the answer is 2 1/3. :)
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
110 girls and 85 boys.
Subtract 1 from 195. Then divide by 2. 194/2 = 97. Then add 13 97+13=110. There are 110 girls.
