Answer:
156
312 and
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Allen be A , Jane be J and Bob be B
Allen has 4 times as Bob
So
A = 4B
Jane has twice as Allen
So
J = 2A
Together, Allen and Jane has 468 cards
A + J = 468
Substitute 2A for J in the third equation.
We have
A + J = 468
A + 2A = 468
3A = 468
Divide both sides by 3
3A/3 = 468/3
A = 156
Recall
A = 4B
Therefore
156 = 4B
Divide both sides by 4
156/4 = 4B/4
39 = B
B = 39
Also,
J = 2A
J =2 x 156
J = 312
Allen has 156 cards
Jane has 312 cards and
Bob has 39 cards
If you double the amount it would be 17 pounds because every 16 ounces would equal a pound.
So your answer would be 17 pounds and 4 ounces
