Peter has 12 baseball cards he traded 1/3 of his cards with his cousin and 1/4 of his cards to tyrell how many cards did he keep
1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
12 - 7 = ?
To find out how many cards Peter kept, we need to subtract the number of cards he traded with his cousin and Tyrell from the initial total of 12 cards.
First, let's calculate how many cards Peter traded with his cousin. We know that he traded 1/3 of his cards, which can be represented as (1/3) * 12. Multiplying gives us 12/3 = 4.
Next, let's calculate how many cards Peter traded with Tyrell. We know that he traded 1/4 of his cards, which can be represented as (1/4) * 12. Multiplying gives us 12/4 = 3.
To find out how many cards Peter kept, we subtract the cards he traded with his cousin and Tyrell from the initial total of 12 cards. So, Peter kept 12 - 4 - 3 = 5 cards.
