Question

Here is a "formula" for building a model airplane: 1 body + 2 wings + 4 jet engines + 1 tailpiece → 1 model airplane if a hobbyist has 88 jet engines, how many wings does he need to assemble all of the engines into model airplanes?

Answer 1

Answer : 44 wings

Explanation :

It is given that,

The formula for building a model is

$1body+2wings+4jet\ engines+1tail\ piece$

This means to make one model airplane, 1 body, 2 wings, 4 jet engines and 1 tailpiece is required.

If a hobbyist has 88 jet engines, then

$4 \ jet\ engines\times 22=88\ jet\ engines$

so, $2\times 22=44\ wings$

Hence, 44 wings he needs to assemble all of the engines into model airplanes.

Answer 2

Your answer is 44 wings
