Answer: C. [tex]\dfrac{3x}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Two ants, Arthur and Amy, have discovered a picnic and are bringing crumbs back to the anthill.
Amy makes twice as many trips and carries one and a half times as many crumbs per trip as Arthur.
here , one and a half = [tex]1+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2(1)+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
⇒Amy carries [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] as many crumbs per trip as Arthur.
If Arthur carries a total of x crumbs to the anthill , then the number of crumbs brought by Amy = [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}x=\dfrac{3x}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is option C. [tex]\dfrac{3x}{2}[/tex]
