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.
Percent mean parts out of 100
0.2%=0.2/100=0.02/10=0.002/1=0.002
'of' means multiply
'what number'=x
'is' means '='
so
0.2% of what number is 12
0.002 times x=12
divide both sides by 0.002
x=6000
the number is 6000
Answer: x= 3,2
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
