B) 3H = 2R
C) H =
3
2
R
D) 3H =

R

Answer 1

The answer is A because if you make up an age for Julia for example Julia is 6 years old. In that case we multiply her age by 3 to figure out Henry's age which is 18. Rhianna is half as old as Julia is so that would make her 3 years old. In order for Henry which he is 18 years old to get to Rhianna's age which is 3 years old. you just divide 18 by 3 which is 6 years old. therefore the answer is A
