Samir Holloway · Answer 1

So divide 44 by 2, which gives you 22 and then multiply that times 3 so that is 66

Buchanan · Answer 2

So Anna is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

So Anna is 3 times as Diane and together they are 44.

Do 44/3 which equals 14.667. So Diane is 14.

Next 44-14 = 30

--> 14.667x3 which equals 44.001. SO that proves that Anna is 3 times the age of Diane ...

Some of this work has been rounded so I'm hoping you weren't supposed to use decimals cause I rounded.
