Question

gives Bob and half as much as he gives Carl. How much should he give AI?
$35
$42
$45
$60

Answer 1

Answer:

Here you go

Explanation:

If he gives Al 42, then he gives Bob 21 and Carl 84. Do those add up to 210? 42 + 21 + 84 = 147–that’s too small! Go bigger.

Since (D) is odd, shoot right to (E). If he gives Al 60, then he gives Bob 30 and Carl 120. Does that add up to 210? Yes, yes it does. 60 + 30 + 120 = 210.
