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. if arthur carries a total of b crumbs to the anthill, how many crumbs will amy bring to the anthill, in terms of b?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) b / 2
B) b
C) 3 b / 2
D) 2 b
E) 3 b

multiply(const_2, add(const_1, divide(const_1, const_2)))
lets do it by picking up numbers . let arthur carry 2 crumbs per trip , this means amy carries 3 crumbs per trip . also let arthur make 2 trips and so amy makes 4 trips . thus total crumbs carried by arthur ( b ) = 2 x 2 = 4 , total crumbs carried by amy = 3 x 4 = 12 . 12 is 3 times 4 , so e
