Answer:

21 grapes.

Explanation:

We have been given that Tyrell ate twice as many grape as Katy. Lucy ate half as many grapes as Katy. Katy ate 6 grapes. We are asked to find the total number of grapes that all of them eat in all.

First of all, we will find twice of 6 grapes to find number of grapes eaten by Tyrell.


\text{Grapes eaten by Tyrell}=2* 6


\text{Grapes eaten by Tyrell}=12

Now, we will find half of 6 to find number of grapes eaten by Lucy.


\text{Grapes eaten by Lucy}=(6)/(2)


\text{Grapes eaten by Lucy}=3


\text{Grapes eaten by them in all}=6+12+3


\text{Grapes eaten by them in all}=21

Therefore, the three of them eat 21 grapes in all.
