If Ethan ate 4 times as many cookies as Daniel who at 2 times as many as Courtney how many cookies did Ethan eat if Courtney ate 2.
Courtney > 2
Daniel > 2 * 2 = 3
Ethan > 4 * 3 = 12
Courtney - 2 cookies
Daniel - 2 times Courtney = 4 cookies
Ethan - 4 times Daniel = 16 cookies
How did I multiply 2 * 2 and get 3????
Typo??
To solve this problem, we can work our way backwards from the information given.
We know that Courtney ate 2 cookies.
Now, let's find out how many cookies Daniel ate. According to the information provided, Daniel ate 2 times as many cookies as Courtney. So, Daniel ate 2 * 2 = 4 cookies.
Finally, Ethan ate 4 times as many cookies as Daniel. Therefore, Ethan ate 4 * 4 = 16 cookies.
In conclusion, Ethan ate 16 cookies.
