Question

Brandon and Michael are playing a card game with 7 friends. They are using decks of standard 52-card decks. If they want to

divide the cards evenly among themselves and their friends, which expression indicates how many cards each player will receive?

Answer 1

9x = 52

Explanation:

Brandon + Michael = 2 + 7 friends = 9

x= number of cards each player receives

Solve it by simply dividing 52 by 9 which gives you x = 5.78

So there would be only enough cards for each player to have 5. Then 7 left over.
