Question

Benji hits 5 cans and Susan hits 2 cans less than Benji. Lee hits 2 times as many cans as Susan. Find the number of cans hit by Lee.

• A. 7
• B. 6
• C. 5
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 6

Number of cans hit by Benji = (B) = 5
Number of cans hit by Susan = (S)
S= B - 2 i.e.
S= 5 - 2 = 3 cans
Number of cans hit by Lee (L) = 2 x S i.e. 2 x 3 = 6 cans
