<h3>The number of pears Amy has is 16.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J represent the number of pears Josh has.

Let L represent the number of pears Leya has.

Let A represent the number of pears Amy has.

From the question given above,

Josh (J) = 4 × Leya (L)

J = 4L ....... (1)

Leya (L) = ½ × Amy (A)

L = ½A ........ (2)

Next, we shall determine the number of pears Leya has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 1

J = 4L

But

Josh (J) = 32 pears

Thus,

32 = 4L

Divide both side by 4

L = 32 / 4

<h3>Leya (L) = 8 pears </h3>

Finally, we shall determine the number pears Amy has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 2

L = ½A

But

Leya (L) = 8 pears

Thus,

8 = ½A

Cross multiply

A = 8 × 2

<h3>Amy (A) = 16 pears </h3>

Therefore, Amy has 16 pears.
