Answer 1

Your question says:
he always collects three times as many white shells as black shells

Answer 2

So which of those answer choices has 3 times as many white shells as black shells?

Answer 3

for example if he collected 1 black shell, he would collect 3 times as many white shells

1* 3 = 3 white shells

Answer 4

if he collected 2 black shell, he would collect 3 times as many white shells

2 * 3 = 6 white shells

so for every 6 shells, he collected 2 black shells

Answer 5

so similarly can you figure which answer choices that you have are correct?
