23) If 1 alpha = 2 betas and 1 beta = 3 gammas, how
many alphas are equal to 36 gammas?

1. 6
2. 12
3. 36
4. 72
5. 108

If 1 beta = 3 gammas, then multiplying both sides by 12 tells you that 12 betas = 36 gammas. You're given that 1 alpha 2 betas, so 1 alphas must be equal to 6 gammas. Now that we know the relationship between alphas and gammas. Now divide 36 gammas by 6 to determine that 6 alphas = 36 gammas.
