Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Red:black = 1:1
Red cards = x
Black cards =x
x + x = 48
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24
No. of red cards = 24
No of black cards = 24
Now 8 red cards are removed
So, No. of red cards = 24 - 8 =16
Red: Black = 16:24

Red: Black = 2:3
Answer:
2744 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.
We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be
.
We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be
.
Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be
.
We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to
and solve for x as shown below:
Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
Your answer is ..
First,
we have to turn our mixed fractions into an improper fraction.
=4 1/8 which is 33/8(4 x 8 + 1).
Our next mixed fraction,
we have 1 1/7 which is 8/7(1 x 7 + 1).
Now, we have the get the same denominator in order to subtract.
SO, both 8 and 7 goes in to 56. So we multiply both mixed fractions to get the same denominator.
(Tip: what ever you do to do numerator, you do to the denominator; and the other way around).
33/8 : 33*7=231 and our denominator, 8*7=56
So our improper fraction now,
231/56
Our next fraction 8/7,
7*8= 56 and our numerator 8*8=64.
=64/56
So, now we subtract.
231-64= 167 and our common denominator. 167/56
Now we divide 167 by 56 which is 2 and remainder is 55.
So, you should end up with a mixed fraction, 2 55/56.
