1) Name the variables:

A: number of model cars Andre has

P: number of model cars Peter has

J: number of model cars Jade has.

2) Statements:

Andre has 4 times as many model cars as Peter: A = 4 P

Peter has one-third as many model cars as Jade: P = J / 3

Andre has 36 model cars: A = 36

3) Write and solve an equation to find how many model cars Peter has.

A = 4P => A/4 = P

=> P = A / 4

=> P = 36 / 4 = 8

4) Using your answer from part a, write and solve an equation to find how many model cars Jade has.

P = J / 3 => J = 3P

=> J = 3 (8) = 24
