peter has 6/7 of a stack of baseball cards left. If he is planning on splitting what he has left into stacks that are each 3/28 of a pack of cards, how man stacks can he make?

Sagot :

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

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. The number of stacks that Peter has left into stacks that are each 3/28 of a pack of the left cards is 8.

What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

Given that Peter has 6/7 of a stack of baseball cards left. Also, he makes small stacks from the left cards of size 3/28. Therefore, the number of stacks Peter made,

[tex]\text{Number of stacks Peter made} = \dfrac{\text{Stack of baseball cards left}}{\text{Size of small stack of cards}}\\\\\\\text{Number of stacks Peter made} = \dfrac{\frac{6}{7}}{\frac{3}{28}}\\\\\\\text{Number of stacks Peter made} = \dfrac{6 \times 28}{7 \times 3} = 8[/tex]

Hence, the number of stacks that Peter has left into stacks that are each 3/28 of a pack of the left cards is 8.
