Verified Answer :

the first one would be 9 and 1/3

the second one would be 27

  1. Barbara has 9 and Trisha has 3 times as many so that is 9 x 3 = 27
    2. 
    18 monkeys, six lions. total 24 animals
    3. 
    Fred's frog . . . 7 times
    Al's frog . . . . . 1 time

    Total for both frogs  =      8 times  =  56 inches

    Divide each side by  8 :  1 time    =  7 inches

    Fred's frog . . . 7 times = (7 x 7) = 49 inches

    My frog . . . 1 time = 7 inches
    4. 18 markers.
    5. There were 4 yellow cars and 36 white cars.
    I hope this helps.
