Solution

Step 1: Identify the number of red chairs. The problem states there are 3 red chairs.

Step 2: Determine the number of yellow chairs. The problem states there are 3 times as many yellow chairs as red chairs. So, 3 (red chairs) * 3 = 9 yellow chairs.

Step 3: Determine the number of blue chairs. The problem states there are 2 fewer blue chairs than yellow chairs. So, 9 (yellow chairs) - 2 = 7 blue chairs.

Step 4: Add up the total number of chairs. So, 3 (red chairs) + 9 (yellow chairs) + 7 (blue chairs) = 19 chairs.

So, there are 19 chairs in Zeke's classroom.
