Jade has 4 times as many pens as Roshel. Roshel has
56 as many pens as Lynn. If the three of them have a total of 248 pens, how many pens does Lynn have?

5x1 |
6x1 |
20 u |
5 u |
6 u |
The number of pens that Roshel has is repeated. Make the number of pens that Roshel has the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of pens that the three of them have
= 20 u + 5 u + 6 u
= 31 u
31 u = 248
1 u = 248 ÷ 31 = 8
Number of pens that Lynn has
= 6 u
= 6 x 8
= 48
Answer(s): 48
