Question

Kayla made two paper chains. The paper links on one represented the number of days until her birthday, and the other showed the days until summer vacation. Altogether, she made 135 links for her chains. The birthday chain had twice as many links as the vacation chain. How many links are on Kayla's birthday chain?

Answer 1

90 days

Explanation:

b= number of days til her birthday

s = number of days til summer

b+s =135

b = 2s

2s+s = 135

3s = 135

Divide by 3

3s/3 =135/3

s =45

b = 2s = 2(45) = 90
