Question

Nathaniel builds birds and birdhouses using Lego blocks. Let BBB represent the number of birds and HHH represent the number of birdhouses that Nathaniel can build with his Lego blocks. 43B+215H \leq 300043B+215H≤300043, B, plus, 215, H, is less than or equal to, 3000 Nathaniel wants to build 505050 birds using Lego blocks. How many birdhouses can he build at most with the remaining Lego blocks? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Nathaniel can build at most 111 birdhouse. (Choice B) B Nathaniel can build at most 222 birdhouses. (Choice C) C Nathaniel can build at most 333 birdhouses. (Choice D) D Nathaniel can build at most 444 birdhouses.

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) Nathaniel can build at most 3 birdhouses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$43B+215H \leq 3000$

where:

• B represents the number of birds
• H represents the number of Birdhouses

Nathaniel wants to build 50 birds(B) using lego Blocks, we want to determine how many birdhouses(H) he can build with the remaining Lego blocks.

If B=50

$43(50)+215H \leq 3000\\2150+215H \leq 3000\\\text{Subtract 2150 from both sides}\\215H \leq 3000-2150\\215H \leq 850\\\text{Divide both sides by 215}\\H \leq 3.95$

Therefore, Nathaniel can build at most 3 Birdhouses.
