Question

Ms. Allen has twice as many pets as Ms. Johns. Ms. Allen has 8 pets. How many pets does Ms. Johns have?

Answer 1

Ms Johns has 4 pets.

Explanation:

We know Ms Allen has `8` pets. And this is twice the number pets that Ms Johns has.

Let the number of pets that Ms Johns has be `x`.

According to the question, Ms Allen has `2x` pets.

So, `2x` `=` `8`
`rArr` `x` `=` `4`

Thus, Ms Johns has `4` pets.
