Huh??

You cannot order volunteers to do anything! Someone may answer your question when we can.
just write the words in symbols.

Ben ran 2 times as many laps as Ray.
B = 2R

Lee ran 3 laps
L = 3

which is one-half of the number of laps that Ray ran.
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
is th e answer 12
