Answer: Ben read 12 books Firstly you know how any books Sheldon read so to find out number of books Keisha read you go backwards to what they have mentioned.
You times number of books Sheldon has read by 2 then add 4 ( because it says subtract 4 and divide by 2).
(10x2) +4=24 Now we know Keisha has read 24 books and she has read twice as many as Ben therefore number of books Ben has 24/2=12 Ben has read 12 books
