Question

Rachel owns as twice as many beanie babies as Kaye. Alexia owns 1/3 as many beanie babies as Rachel. If Kaye owns 63 beanie babies,how many does Alexia owns?

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

Let the number of beanie babies Kaye has be x

according to question

Rachel owns as twice as many beanie babies as Kaye

number of beanie babies Rachel has : 2*x = 2x

Also,

Alexia owns 1/3 as many beanie babies as Rachel

number of beanie babies Alexia has : 1/3(2x) = 2x/3

It is given that Kayes has 63 beanie babies

thus x = 63

Thus,

Number of beanie babies Alexia has = 2x/3 = 2*63/3 =2*21 = 42
