Question

Emily has 36 lollipops . Samantha has two-thirds as many as Emily . How many lollipops do they have altogether?

Answer 1

Answer: 60 lollipops

Step-by-step explanation: 36/3 = 12

12 * 2 = 24

36 + 24 = 60

Answer 2

Multiply the amount Emily has by 2/3 to find how many Samantha has:

36 x 2/3 = 24

Now add the two amounts together for the total:

36 + 24 = 60 total lollipops.

Answer: 60
