Johnny tripled his baseball card collection. Then he added 6 more cards to the collection. Now he has 24 cards. How many cards did he start with?

9514 1404 393

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backward.

If he has 24 after adding 6, he had 18 before that addition.

If he had 18 after tripling his collection, he had 18/3 = 6 cards to start with.

__

Note that this is the same process you would use if you started with an equation.

  3c +6 = 24 . . . . where c is the number of cards Johnny started with

  3c = 24 -6 = 18 . . . . . subtract 6 from the final number

  c = 18/3 = 6 . . . . . . . . divide the tripled value by 3 to see the original value

Johnny started with 6 cards.

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.

step-by-step explanation:

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
