Answer 2

Answer 3

The one with jamie

Answer 4

Okay, i can help with this :)

Answer 5

bye

Answer 6

so, Were looking for the number of baseball cards. First, we have to know out of how many jamie pulled out, what fraction of that was baseball cards. We can find this by adding how many baseball cards and football cards jamie recorded. Using this, what do you think the fraction would be?

Answer 7

um would it be 6/60 *9/60?

Answer 8

Well, we need to find how many of the ones she/he pulled out were baseball cards, so it would be 6/15. Jamie pulled out 15 cards, and 6 of those are baseball cards. Does this make sense?

Answer 9

But werent there 60 cards how do we get 15?

Answer 10

\[\pi \]

Answer 11

Oh nevermind you added 6 and 9

Answer 12

Yes. so, now we have 6/15 because we only know how many baseball cards were in the amount jamie pulled out.

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

So, we need to figure out how many baseball cards are in the full stack. What times 15 equals 60? (Were basically doing the opposite of simplifying, were increasing it to make 15 have the same denominator as 60 :) )

Answer 15

\[\pi \]

Answer 16

4

Answer 17

Exactly! Great job! Now, what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. So, 6 x 4 equals?

Answer 18

24

Answer 19

Yep! So, our new fraction is 24/60. So, in the 60 cards that jamie has, 24 are baseball cards! Great job @nerd_3.14 !!
