Question

Tom and Sam ate 12 pieces of chocolate. Tom ate twice as much as Sam. How many pieces did Tom eat? *

Answer 1

Answer:

8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let piece of chocolate ate by Tom = 2x

piece of chocolate ate by Sam = x

2x + x = 12

3x = 12

x = 4.

Hence. piece of chocolate ate by Sam = 4

and piece of chocolate ate by Tom = 2×4

= 8..
