Jennifer has 4/5 as many pictures on her camera has Luisa does. Jennifer has 28 pictures on her camera. how many pictures do Jennifer and Luisa have in all?


a.63


b.60


c.70


d.35

Verified Answer :

Let us assume the number of pictures that Luisa has = x
Number of pictures Jennifer has in her camera = 4x/5
It is also given in the question that Jennifer has a total of 28 pictures in her camera.
Then we can write the equation as
4x/5 = 28
4x = 28 * 5
4x = 140
x = 140/4
  = 35
So the number of pictures that Luisa has = 28
Number of pictures that Jennifer and Luisa have in all is = 28 + 35
                                                                                          = 63
So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "a".

The total number of pictures in the camera of Jennifer and Luisa is \(\boxed{{\mathbf{63}}}\).

Further explanation:

Procedure used:

First find the number of pictures in Luisa’s camera and then find the total picture by adding them.

Given  

It is given that Jennifer has 28 pictures that is \(\dfrac{4}{5}\) of Luisa’s pictures.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

Jennifer has 28 pictures that is \(\dfrac{4}{5}\) of Luisa’s pictures.

Consider \(x\) as the number of pictures that Luisa has.

The equation for the number of pictures in Jennifer’s camera can be represented as,

\(\dfrac{4}{5}{\text{ of }}x = 28\)

The \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) of pictures is the one fourth of \(\dfrac{4}{5}\).

Therefore, 7 pictures is the one fifth part of Luisa pictures.

Step 2:

Now find the number of pictures with Luisa on her camera.

\(\begin{aligned}\frac{4}{5}{\text{ of }}x &= 28 \\\frac{4}{5}x &= 28 \\x&= 28 \times \frac{5}{4} \\x &= 35\\\end{aligned}\)  

Therefore, Luisa has 35 pictures on her camera.

The Luisa pictures is the five times of \(\sfrac{1}{5}\) pictures.

Step 3:

The total pictures with Jennifer and Luisa have can be calculated as,

\(\begin{aligned}{\text{total pictures}} &= 28 + 35 \\&= 63 \\\end{aligned}\)  

Therefore, the total number of pictures in the camera of Jennifer and Luisa is \(63\).
