Question

- Olivia skates twice as far as Stephanie. This sum of their distances is 96 miles per month. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

B.64 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Oliver's be x

Let Stephanie's be y

$x = 2y - - - (a) \\ x + y = 96 - - - (b)$

substitute for x in (b):

$2y + y = 96 \\ 3y = 96 \\ y = 32$

find x in (a):

$x = (2 \times 32) \\ x = 64$

Answer 2

The correct answer is A, 96 divided by 3 is 32 that’s 1/3 of the miles therefore making it so to finish it you need to double the miles.
