Question

Ashlynn, Troy, and Edwin had a challenge to see who could run the farthest in a month. Ashlynn ran 19

miles. Troy ran 3 times as many miles as Edwin, and Edwin ran 4 times as many miles as Ashlynn. How
many miles did Troy run?

Answer 1

Ashlynn is my name!

Explanation:

Answer 2

Troy ran 228 miles.

Explanation:

Ashlynn (a) ran 19 miles. Troy (t) ran 3 times as many miles as Edwin, and Edwin (e) ran 4 times as many miles as Ashlynn.

So,

a=19

E=a•4

t=e•3

Knowing a=19, we can solve the first equation. e=19•4, 19•4=76 so e=76

Knowing e=76 we can solve the second equation t=76•3, 76•3=228 so t=228
