Martin has 12 times as many baseball cards as Josie. Josie has 29 more cards than Kal. How many baseball cards does Martin have? what is the answer?
How many baseball cards does Martin have?
yeah, yeah. OK, that's fair, and I answered it (in terms of how many cards Kai has.)
But, unless you start tossing in some actual numbers, don't expect a final numerical answer.
m = 12j
j = k+29
so, m = 12(k+29)
I don't know the answer, because you haven't asked a question
To find out how many baseball cards Martin has, we need to break down the given information step by step and calculate each person's card count.
Let's denote Martin's number of cards as M, Josie's as J, and Kal's as K.
We know that Martin has 12 times as many baseball cards as Josie. So we can express this relationship as:
M = 12J
We also know that Josie has 29 more cards than Kal. This can be represented as:
J = K + 29
Now we have two equations, and by substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can solve for Martin's card count:
M = 12(K + 29)
M = 12K + 348
Therefore, Martin has 12K + 348 baseball cards.
To determine the actual number of baseball cards Martin has, we need to know how many cards Kal has. If we have that information, we can substitute it into the equation and calculate Martin's card count.
