Question

Hannah has a part-time job making holiday wreaths. This week, she made x medium wreaths, twice as many large wreaths as medium wreaths, and 12 as many small wreaths as medium wreaths. In terms of x, how many wreaths did Hannah make this week?

Answer 1

Total number of wreaths = 3.5 wreaths

Explanation:

Given:

Number of medium wreaths = x

Number of larger wreaths = 2[Number of medium wreaths]

Number of small wreaths = [1/2][Number of medium wreaths]

Find:

Total number of wreaths

Computation:

Total number of wreaths = Number of medium wreaths + Number of large wreaths + Number of small wreaths

Total number of wreaths = Number of medium wreaths + 2[Number of medium wreaths] + [1/2][Number of medium wreaths]

Total number of wreaths = x + 2x + 0.5x

Total number of wreaths = 3.5 wreaths
