Question

For every $3 Elly gets, Ben gets $4. If Elly gets $12, then how much money Ben gets?

Answer 1

$16

Explanation:

That's a really good question.

Elly gets $3, and at the same time Ben gets $4.

So it takes 4 times for Elly to get $12.

3+3+3+3= $12

4+4+4+4= $16

Am I right?

Answer 2

$16

Explanation:

For every $3 Elly gets, Ben gets $4. If Elly gets $12 then it means he received $3 four times($12/$3). So Ben should also receive $4 four times($4×4=16)
