Leon had 56 paper clips. He gave 3 over 4 of them to joe. Joe gave 2 over 7 of what he recieved to keith.
How much did Keith get?
3/4 x 56 = 42 = Joe
2/7 x 42 = 12 = Keith
Clue: the word 'of ' tells us that we need to multiply.
I'm assuming your asking how many did Keith get?
56*3/4=42 Leon gave to Joe
42*2/7=12 Joe gave to Keith
3/4= 75%
2/7=28.6%
Step 1: Calculate how many paper clips Leon gave to Joe.
To find this, you need to multiply the total number of paper clips Leon had (56) by 3/4 (since he gave 3 over 4 of them to Joe).
56 x 3/4 = 168/4 = 42
Leon gave 42 paper clips to Joe.
Step 2: Calculate how many paper clips Joe gave to Keith.
To find this, you need to multiply the number of paper clips Joe received (42) by 2/7 (since Joe gave 2 over 7 of what he received to Keith).
42 x 2/7 = 84/7 = 12
Joe gave 12 paper clips to Keith.
Therefore, Leon gave 42 paper clips to Joe, and Joe gave 12 paper clips to Keith.
To find out how many paper clips Keith received, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate how many paper clips Leon gave to Joe.
Since Leon had 56 paper clips and gave 3/4 of them to Joe, we can calculate it as:
56 * (3/4) = 42
Step 2: Calculate how many paper clips Joe gave to Keith.
As Joe received 42 paper clips and gave 2/7 of them to Keith, we can calculate it as:
42 * (2/7) = 12
Therefore, Keith received 12 paper clips from Joe.
