Sara travels twice as far as eli when going to camp. ashley travels as far as sara and eli together. hazel travels 3 times as far as sara. in total, all 4 travel a total of 888 miles to camp. how far do each of them travel?

Eli travels the shortest distance, so she'll be the main letter for algebra. She can be 'e'.
Sara travels twice as far, so her distance is 2e.
Ashley travels Sara and Eli, so 2e + e, or 3e
Hazel travels 3 times Sara, so 2e * 3, or 6e. Together they all travel 888 miles.
So e + 2e + 3e + 6e = 888
Simply, 12e = 888
Therefore, e = 888/12, or 74
So Eli travels 1*74 (74) miles
Sara travels 2*74 (148) miles
Ashley travels 3*74 (222) miles
Hazel travels 6*74 (444) miles

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.
