Question

Alejandro has 3 times as many playlists as Derrick does. Alejandro has 24 playlists. If d = the number of playlists Derrick has, which mathematical sentence expresses the information above?

Answer 1

Answer:

Derrick has 8 playlists in his possession.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Derrick as x amount of playlists, then if Alejandro has 3 times as many playlists as Derrick then he has 3x. Now if Alejandro has 24 playlists we can create the following mathematical expression to figure out how many playlists Derrick has.

$3x = 24$ .... divide both sides by 3

$x = 8$

We can now see that Derrick has 8 playlists.
