A group of 4444 friends is playing cards. The deck has 70707070 cards. To start the game, the dealer makes a pile of 15151515 cards in the center. Then she deals the remaining cards one at a time to each player until all the cards are gone. What is the greatest number of cards any player will have after all the cards are dealt?
cards

12502 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

» total of 70707070 cards of the deck

» 15151515 cards were taken and put in a pile

Solve:

1. So, you can subtract 15151515 from 70707070 to find how many cards are left:

70707070 - 15151515 = 55555555

2. Now, there are 55555555 cards remaining in the deck since 15151515 cards were taken to put in a pile. Since the dealer deals the remaining cards to 4444 people, you can just do 55555555 divided by 4444 to find how many cards each person gets:

55555555 ÷ 4444 = 12501.25

3. 12501.25 is the exact number of cards each person gets, but you can’t have a fraction/part of a card. You have to find a specific remaining number:

0.25 is the same as , and so convert into a fraction with a denominator of 4444, but is still equivalent to : You’ll get , which is correct because it’s still equivalent to

4. So, the remaining 55555555 cards divided by 4444 people is 12501 cards and a remainder of 1111 cards. The 1111 cards can be distributed upon the players, but not everyone can get it. Since 12501 were to given to the players and after the remaining 1111 were also distributed, this means that some will have 12501 cards and others will have 12502 cards.

So, the greatest number of cards any player will have after all the cards are dealt is 12502 cards.

3.how is solving radical equations different than solving linear equations?

step-by-step explanation:

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
