Answer:

Tom has 70 cards, and Harry has 28 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = number of cards Harry has.

Then the number of cards Tom has is 2 1/2 * h = 2.5h.

Together they have 2.5h + h = 3.5h number of cards.

Together they have 98 cards.

3.5h = 98

h = 98/3.5

h = 28

Harry has 28 cards.

Tom has 2.5h = 2.5 * 28 = 70

Answer: Tom has 70 cards, and Harry has 28 cards.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Water in container B will be at 6.own

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the volume in cont. A

VoA=400×6

=2400cm cube

VoB=420ml

=420cm cube [1ml=1cm cube]

now add both volumes

V=2400+420

=2820cm cube

Now,

2820 cm cube in jar B so

2820=420×h

h=6.71
