So, we know there are 12 people. Each person has 3 coins. To get the total amount of coins, we multiply the amount of coins by people.
12 * 3 = 36
There are 36 coins in total.
To get the answer of “there are ___ times as many coins, we simply take the amount of coins and divide it by the amount of people.
36 / 12
This gets you three.
Meaning there are 3 times as many coins as people.
