Answer:36 postcards

Step-by-step explanation:

jenny bought 12 post cards

joe bought half of the postcards jenny bought = 12/2 = 6

ruth bought 3 times the postcards joe bought = 3 x 6 = 18

total postcards bought by all = 12 + 6 + 18 = 36 postcards

Answer: they bought 36 postcards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeany bought 12 postcards which was twice as many postcards as joe bought. It means that the number of postcards that Joe bought is

112/2 = 6 postcards

Ruth bought 3 times as many postcards as joe. It means that the number of postcards that Ruth bought is

3 × 6 = 18 postcards

Therefore, the number of postcards that they bought together would be

12 + 6 + 18 = 36 postcards

100 is 1/10 of what?
lawyer [7]

\boxed{ \ 100 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ 1,000 \ }  

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The question can be rewritten to \boxed{ \ 100 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ M \ }  

This case about equations with one variable. We have to solve this calculation to obtain the value of M. Our task is to isolate the variable M alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to a value on the opposing side.  

Let's arrange it into an equation, i.e., \boxed{ \ 100 \ = \ \frac{1}{10} \times \ M \ }  

Turn this equation over so that the position of variable M is on the left side.  

\boxed{ \ M \times \frac{1}{10} = 100 \ }  

Both sides are multiplied by 10 to isolate M on the left side. The fraction are eliminated.  

\boxed{ \ M \times \frac{1}{10} \times 10 = 100 \times 10 \ }  

M = 1,000  

Therefore, we have calculated the number that was asked.  

Hence \boxed{ \ 100 \ is \ \frac{1}{10} \ of \ 1,000 \ }  

<u>Note:  </u>

The significant thing to carry out is how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:  

  • Adding  
  • Subtracting  
  • Multiplying, and/or  
  • Dividing both sides of the equation with a similar number

And the commutative property of multiplication, i.e., \boxed{ \ a \times b = b \times a \ }
