Lynn has 3 times as many erasers as Kimberly. Kimberly has
56 as many erasers as Jaslyn. If the three of them have a total of 208 erasers, how many erasers does Lynn have?
| Lynn |
Kimberly |
Jaslyn |
| 3x5 |
1x5 |
|
| |
5x1 |
6x1 |
| 15 u |
5 u |
6 u |
The number of erasers that Kimberly has is repeated. Make the number of erasers that Kimberly has the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of erasers that the three of them have
= 15 u + 5 u + 6 u
= 26 u
26 u = 208
1 u = 208 ÷ 26 = 8
Number of erasers that Lynn has
= 15 u
= 15 x 8
= 120
Answer(s): 120
