Complete Question
Astrid is in charge of building a new fleet of ships. Each ship requires 40 tons of wood, and accommodates 300 sailors. She receives a delivery of 4 tons of wood each day. The deliveries can continue for 100 days at most, afterwards the weather is too bad to allow them. Overall, she wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
Answer:
280 tons of wood.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
To make 1 ship = we require 40 tons of wood.
1 ship = can accommodate 300 sailors.
Step 1
If :
300 sailors = 1 ship
2100 sailors = y ships
Cross Multiply
300 × y ships = 1 ship × 2100 sailors
y ships = 2100 / 300
y ships = 7
Hence, 2100 sailors can occupy 7 ships.
Step 2
We are told in the question that:
Astrid wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
If:
1 ship = 40 tons of wood
Since 7 ships can accommodate 2100 sailors,
7 ships =
7 × 40 tons of wood = 280 tons of wood.
Therefore , Astrid needs 280 tons of wood to accommodate 2100 sailors.
She will need 6/8 because 3/4 the cup is divided into 8 so we need the denominator to be 8. we multiply 4 x 2 and what every we do to the top happens to the bottom so we also multiply 3 x 2. then we see that sara needs 6/8 cups of dish soap to make her bubbles
