Answer 2

Answer:  8

=======================================================

Work Shown:

Let's say there are 28 cards in a full stack.

6/7 = 24/28 after multiplying top and bottom by 4

Since he has 24/28 of a stack left, this means he has 24 cards left.

He wants to arrange the remaining cards into piles so that each pile consists of 3/28 of a full stack. In other words, he wants each pile to have 3 cards.

So this must mean he will get 24/3 = 8 piles

(8 piles)*(3 cards per pile) = 8*3 = 24 cards total
