Andre has 4 times as many model cars as Peter, and Peter has one-third as many model cars as Jade. Andre has 36 model cars. Write and solve an equation to find how many model cars Peter has. Using your answer from part a, write and solve an equation to find how many model car Jade has.

Respuesta :

First solve what is probably 'part A.'
Peter has 36 ÷ 4; Peter has 9 model cars. Jade has 3 times as many as Peter; Peter has 1/3 as many as Jade, so 9 x 3 = 27, so Jade has 27 cars.

1st equation: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 -OR- 36 x 1/4 = 9
2nd equation: 9 x 3 = 27 -OR- (36 x 1/4) x 3 = 9
(36/4)3 = 9 would also work. I think the 1st equations would be best... just giving some choices...

hope this helped!
