Question

Sarah sent half of the Christmas cards to her friends,and Richard sent three eights of them to his friends. If there are 32 cards in all and Sarah and Richard want to send an even number of cards to their families. How many cards would Sarah's family get.

Answer 1

Sarah family will get 2 cards

Explanation:

The total number of cards is 32

Sarah sent half of the Christmas cards to her friends,= 1/2 *32= 16 cards for Sarah's friends

Richard sent three eights of them to his friends.

3/8 *32=12 cards for Richards friends

Total = 12+16= 28

Card left= 32-28=4

Since Sarah and Richard want to send an even number of cards to their families. Then Sarah's family and Richard's family will receive 2 apiece.
