Question

Maddie had three times as many slimes as makayla. Together they have 64 slimes . How many slimes does Maddie have

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since maddie had 3 times as many slimes and together they had 64

we can devide 64 by 4

becuase out 3/4 out of 64 is maddies slime

so 64 devided by 4 is 16

now we do 16 x 3 since maddie has 3 times as many as makayla

and 16 x 3 = 48

so maddie had 48 slimes
