Question

Bob and Jimmy went to the gym to lift weights. Jimmy lifted twice as much as Bob. Together they lifted 51lbs. How much did each boy lift?

Answer 1

I broke it all the way day half of 51 is 25 in a half and half of 25 is 12 in half so if Jimmy lifted twice as much he may have lifted 25 in a half and bob left 12

Answer 2

jimmy lifted 26 pounds and bob lifted 25 pounds
