Question

You have a package of 20 assorted thank-you cards. You pick the four cards shown. How many of the 20 cards would you expect to have flowers on them?

Answer 1

5 out of 20

Explanation:

1 out of four cards have flowers on them which it means you can expect a fourth of the 20 twenty cards to have flowers. 20 divided by 4 is five.

Answer 2

5 cards

Explanation:

There's 20 cards and in 1 group, 4 cards. There are 1 out of 4 cards in each group. If you keep counting, there will be 5 in total, because 4*5=20. Think of it like this: Each period is a card without flowers and each comma is a card with flowers.
