rizalyn has 64 stamps.

lilian has 1.5 times as many as rizalyn.

lilian has 1.5 * 64 = 64 + 32 = 96 stamps.

ely has 3/4 as many stamps as lilian.

ely has .75 * 96 = 72 stamps.

the total number of stamps that all the girls have is 64 + 96 + 72 = 232.

if you needed to do this using fractions, you would do the following:

rizalyn has 64 stamps.

lilian has 1 and 1/2 times as many.

1 and 1/2 * 64 = 3/2 * 64 = 3 * 32 = 96

lilian has 96 stamps.

ely has 3/4 as many stamps as lilian.

ely has 3/4 * 96 stamps = 72

ely has 72 stamps.

sum of stamps is 64 + 96 + 72 = 232
