    Sarah family will get 2 cards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total number of cards is 32

    Sarah sent half of the Christmas cards to her friends, = 1/2 * 32 = 16 cards for Sarah's friends

    Richard sent three eights of them to his friends.

    3/8 * 32=12 cards for Richards friends

    Total = 12+16 = 28

    Card left = 32-28=4

    Since Sarah and Richard want to send an even number of cards to their families. Then Sarah's family and Richard's family will receive 2 apiece.
