Two ants, Arthur and Amy, have discovered a picnic and are bringing crumbs back to the anthill. Amy makes twice as many trips and carries one and a half times as many crumbs per trip as Arthur. If Arthur carries a total of c crumbs to the anthill, how many crumbs will Amy bring to the anthill, in terms of c?
Select: A) x/2 B) x C) 3x/2 D) 2x E) 3x
Lets do it by picking up numbers. Let Arthur carry 2 crumbs per trip, this means Amy carries 3 crumbs per trip. Also let Arthur make 2 trips and so Amy makes 4 trips.   Thus total crumbs carried by Arthur (c) = 2 x 2 = 4, total crumbs carried by Amy = 3 x 4 = 12. 12 is 3 times 4, so 3x
