Another approach you can take is to create a system of equations. Let J = # shoes Jen has; let M = # shoes Jen's mom has. Jen has three times as many shoes her mom has, so the first equation of the system is J = 3M. In total, they both have 24 shoes, so the second equation is J + M = 24. Substitute 3M for J into the second equation, get 3M + M = 24, simplify to 4M = 24, solve for M, get M = 6. Substitute 6 for M in the first equation, J = 3*6 = 18. Final answer is that Jen has 18 shoes; her mom has 6 shoes.
Not a math student, so…2 shoes minimum times 3 is 6. 6+2=8. 24/8=3. 3*2=6, 3*6=18, 6+18=24. But 1*3=3, 3+1=4, 24/4=6, 1*6 plus 3*6=24. And 3*3=9, 3+9=12, 24/12=2. 3*2 plus 9*2=24.
@@hestiaa9354 There are three nouns to pick from in the problem, Jen, mom, and shoes. If it's not asking how many Jens or moms each has that only leaves one option. Pairs requires assuming each shoe even has a mate but regardless isn't one of the three options.
Ratio is Jen 3: 1 Mom, 4 total in ration, so 6x of that is need for 24 total:
Jen-18:6-Mom (@3:1)

Fewer than Jen's Dad's 👟
That is true. LOL
Maybe not anymore today wokey Pop
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
6 mom and 18 Jen in five seconds in my head
I would have asked, "How many *pair does each have?" (Just to see who's napping)
Scam

8x3 = 24
but 3 time of x + x = 24
So 4x = 24, x= 6, 6 X3 = 18 , 18 +6 = 24 , 8+ 24 = 32 pair they dont has
18 and 6 ?
No calculator of paper needed:
24 / (3+1) = 6 so Jen has 3x6 = 18 shoes and mom has 1x6 = 6 shoes.
6 and 18, not even really complicated. 4x=24, 24÷4=6, 6x3=18
Jen has 18 shoes, her mother has 6. 18+6=24. 18 is 3 times more than 6.
Jen has18 shoes, and her mom has 6 shoes.
3 pair and 9 pair = 6 &18 = 24 shoes
Scam
6 and 18
Mom 6 pair; Jen 18 pair
Are we talkin' individual shoes or pairs?
Pretty sure it’s pairs.
It doesn't ask how many pairs each has it asks how many shoes. These sorts of questions are exactly why thoroughly reading the problem is emphasized.
@@Vipre- I assumed it’s pairs. But, unless it’s clearly stated, anything is possible.
He was asking about shoes, 18 shoes for Jen = 9 pairs and 6 shoes for mom = 3 pairs.

jen has 18 mom has 6 ... that was pre-algebra right?
