Answer 7

her brother took 1/5, which is half of what heather took.
Her brother took 10

1/5 of what is 10
1/5x = 10
x = 10/(1/5)
x = 10 * 5/1
x = 50
Her brother took 50 and Heather took half, so Heather took 25 ??

Answer 10

I think I got this wrong....her brother took 1/5, which is half of what heather took.
1/5 of what is 10
1/5x = 10
x = 10/(1/5)
x = 10 * 5
x = 50
so if 50 is half of what Heather took, then Heather took 100.

Answer 11

you WILL need a second opinion on this..my brain hurts from thinking too much..lol

Answer 12

yeah i understand LOL

Answer 13

wait...I think I got this...
Her brother took 1/5 of what her cousin took. And her brother got 10.
and 1/5 of 50 is 10, so her cousin got 50 tickets. This is half the number Heather took, so Heather took 50 x 2 = 100 tickets.
