Question

The number of girls at middle school cyber summer camp was six more than twice the number of boys. There were a total of 156 middle school students at camp. Use the 5-D process to find the number of boys and the number of girls at camp

Answer 1

Ok so if you did 156-6 (considering it was 6 more you want to subtract it) and then because the girls was doubled the boys (you are now at 150) you must divide that by 3 which will give you 50. But you need to double it (for girls) which is 100 and then you have 50 left over which is for the boys. Boys=50 girls=106
