PLEASE HELP ME Of Lee's baseball cards, 1/5 show California players. Of these, 38 show San Diego Padres players. Is it a fraction of lee’s collection that shows Padres players 23/40, 4/13, or 3/40?

3/40

What we know:

How to solve:

We need to find the fraction of cards that have SDP players from the total collection. This can be done by converting it into a decimal and then matching it with one of the options.

Decimal of California Cards

Set up equation                                                 x = 1/5

Solve                                                                   x = 0.2

Decimal of SDP Cards

Set up equation                                                 y = (x/100)*38

Substitute                                                           y = (0.2/100)*38

Simplify                                                               y = 0.002*38

Solve                                                                   y = 0.076

Matching

A

Set up equation                                                 a = y

Substitute                                                           23/40 = 0.076

Simplify                                                               0.575 = 0.076

B

Set up equation                                                 a = y

Substitute                                                           4/13 = 0.076

Simplify                                                               0.308 = 0.076

C

Set up equation                                                 a = y

Substitute                                                           3/40 = 0.076

Simplify                                                               0.075 = 0.076

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.
