Question

Miguel has 225 baseball cards. He plans to keep 75 cards and give the rest to his friends.

20) Can Miguel give an equal number of cards to 6 friends? Explain.

21) Can Miguel give an equal number of cards to 4 friends? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: yes and no

Explanation:

first we have to do 225-75 to see how many cards Miguel will give away.

150/6 friends =25 cards per friend.

150/4friends = 37.5 card per friend.

20) yes

21) no

Answer 2

yes and no answer+the math:

1) yes
2) yes

1) so if you take 255-75 you get 180 now keep that in mind for number 2, when you divide 180 by 6 you will get 30 so we can give 30 cards to everyone

2) remember the 180? were using it again. if you do 180 and divide that by 4 you get 45 so we can give 45 cards to everyone.

hope this helps!
