Question

Misha and Carlos collect baseball cards. Misha has been collecting cards longer and finds a ratio of 9 to 4 when comparing her total cards to her friend. If Carlos has 76 cards, how many cards do they have together?

Answer 1

247 cards

Explanation:

Misha : Carlos = 9 : 4

Carlos = 76 cards

Misha = x cards

9 : 4 = x : 76

9/4 = x/76

Cross product

9 * 76 = 4 * x

684 = 4x

x = 684 /4

x = 171

Misha = 171 cards

how many cards do they have together?

Total cards altogether = Misha + Carlos

= 171 cards + 76 cards

= 247 cards

Total cards altogether = 247 cards
