12 trips <==

Answer 2

Answer:

12 trips will be needed to carry 14 cords of the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use unitary method to solve this problem.

∵ Pick up truck carry $\frac{7}{6}$ cord of firewood in trip = 1

∴ Pick up truck will carry 1 cord of firewood in the trips = $\frac{1}{\frac{7}{6}}$ tips

                                                                                            = $\frac{6}{7}$ trips

∴ Truck will carry 14 cords of firewood in the trips = $\frac{14\times 6}{7}$

                                                                                   = 12 trips.

Therefore, 12 trips will be needed to carry 14 cords of the wood.
