Alright, and what is the total amount of cards that the question states we have?

32 or 30 not counting the wildlife cards

angiedoesschool2275 · Answer

Well, not really. The question tells us we have a total of 16 trading cards. Without putting our ratio in simplest form, what is the ratio?

angiedoesschool2275 · Answer

Hint: We are comparing the number of wildlife cards TO the TOTAL number of cards.
