He has 12 mouthpieces He has 4 times as many reeds as neck straps. How many of each object does he have

12 mouthpieces, 24 reeds, 6 neck straps

Step-by-step explanation:

42 objects - 12 mouthpieces

= 30 objects left consisting of reeds and neckstraps

4 times as many reeds as neckstraps

think of it as 5 groups, 4 are reeds and 1 of nexkstraps

so divide 30 by 5 to get 6 per part.

4 of those parts = 24

1 of the parts = 6

so reeds = 24

neckstraps is 6

mouthpieces = 12
