Answer:
Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.
Explanation:
This question can be solved using a rule of three.
Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre.
This means that for each message that she receives from Pierre, she receives 7 from Yolanda.
She received 56 from Yolanda.
So
7 messages from Yolanda - 1 messages from Pierre
56 messages from Yolanda - x messages from Pierre



Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre
