You cannot order volunteers to do anything! Someone may answer your question when we can.

just write the words in symbols.
<u>Ben ran 2 times as many laps as Ray.</u>
B = 2R
<u>Lee ran 3 laps</u>
L = 3
<u>which is one-half of the number of laps that Ray ran.</u>
3 = R/2
That leaves us with the equations
B = 2R
L = 3
L = R/2, so R = 2L
B = 2R = 2(2L) = 2(2*3) = 12
