Jaylen has 5 carrots and 2 cucumbers. Jaylen has twice as many bell peppers as Kristin. Jaylen has 3 less than half as many green beans as Kristin. If Kristin has 2 bell peppers and 20 green beans, how many vegetables does Jaylen have in total? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Jaylen has 2 * 2 = 4 bell peppers. Jaylen has (20 / 2) - 3 = 7 green beans. Jaylen has a total of 4 + 7 + 5 + 2 = 18 vegetables. So, the answer is 18.
