Answer:
12, right?
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the declaration that three had spots may be a red herring meant to mislead you. If she has 7 after giving away 5, that would mean that in total, there are 12 cards.
All you have to do is go in the order of operations, and your answer is simple:
<span>6² / (6+3) + 18 / 3 - 3²
= 36 / (9) + 6 - 9
= 4 + 3
= 1</span>
Another way to name one forth is to say that he coloured a quarter of the rectangle because a quarter is one forth
