Asked by Mike

Anne, Ryan and Joel collect empty cans. They collect a total of 1925 cans. Anne collects half as many as Ryan. Joel collects twice as many cans as Ryan. How many cans does Joel collect? Use bar model to solve.

Bar model???

standard way:
Ryan ----- x cans
Anne ----- x/2 cans
Joel ------ 2x cans

x + x/2 + 2x = 1925
(7/2)x = 1925
x = 550
