on holiday ellie bought 40 cards to send to her friends she sent 3/8 of them on Wednesday and 2/5 of the remaining ones on friday how many did she have to send on saturdat
on holiday ellie bought 40 cards
40
she sent 3/8 of them on Wednesday
So if she sent 3/8, then they would be multiplied by the number of cards: 40:
40 * 3/8 = 15
2/5 of the remaining ones on friday
Again, this is multiplication:
15 * 2/5 = 6
And I did that totally wrong... I am probably too tired to proficiently answer math questions right now.
Well, I did demonstrate how to get the wrong answer, if that's any use.
