Question

Gus has skydived four more times than Niko Emma has skydive twice as many times as Nico if Emma has skydived 16 times, how many times has Gus skydived?

Answer 1

Answer: Gus skydived 32 times

Explanation:

G = number of times that Gus skydives

N = number of times that Nico skydives

E= number of times that Emma skydives

Gus skydives 4 times as much as Nick

This means G = 4N

Emma skydives 2 times as much as Nick.

This means E= 2N

If Emma has skydived 16 times,

That means E = 16

Put E = 16 in E= 2N,

16 =2N

N= 16/2 = 8

Put N= 8 in G = 4N

G =4×8 = 32

Gus skydived 32 times
