Question

for every five baseball cards that Mickey has Mike has 3 baseball cards if Mike has 72 baseball cards how many cards does Mickey have?

Answer 1

Mickey has 3 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many cards Mickey has, we can set up a proportion using the information given. We know that for every five cards Mickey has, Mike has 3 cards. So the proportion would be: (Mickey's cards) / 5 = 3 / (Mike's cards).

Given that Mike has 72 cards, we can plug that into the proportion: (Mickey's cards) / 5 = 3 / 72.

To solve for Mickey's cards, we can cross multiply: (Mickey's cards) = (3 / 72) * 5.

After simplifying, we find that Mickey has 3.125 cards. However, since we can't have a fraction of a card, we know that Mickey has 3 cards.

Answer 2

70. Mike has 70 cards
