- Olivia skates twice as far as Stephanie. This sum of their distances is 96 miles per month. How many
miles per month does Olivia skate?




A.32 miles
B.64 miles
C.48 miles
D.24 miles

Sagot :

Answer:

B.64 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Oliver's be x

Let Stephanie's be y

[tex]x = 2y - - - (a) \\ x + y = 96 - - - (b)[/tex]

substitute for x in (b):

[tex]2y + y = 96 \\ 3y = 96 \\ y = 32[/tex]

find x in (a):

[tex]x = (2 \times 32) \\ x = 64[/tex]

The correct answer is A, 96 divided by 3 is 32 that’s 1/3 of the miles therefore making it so to finish it you need to double the miles.
