Let’s check out your problem:


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.
What is the number of ships Astrid can build, assuming she receives the maximum possible amount of wood?
________-ships

Full solution

Q. Astrid is in charge of building a new fleet of ships. Each ship requires 4040 tons of wood, and accommodates 300300 sailors. She receives a delivery of 44 tons of wood each day. The deliveries can continue for 100100 days at most, afterwards the weather is too bad to allow them. Overall, she wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 21002100 sailors.\newlineWhat is the number of ships Astrid can build, assuming she receives the maximum possible amount of wood?\newline___________ships
  1. Calculate Total Wood Amount: Calculate the total amount of wood Astrid can receive: Calculation: 4tons/day×100days=400tons.4 \, \text{tons/day} \times 100 \, \text{days} = 400 \, \text{tons}.
  2. Determine Ships Quantity: Determine how many ships can be built with 400400 tons of wood:\newlineCalculation: 400400 tons // 4040 tons per ship == 1010 ships.
  3. Check Sailor Accommodation: Check if 1010 ships can accommodate at least 21002100 sailors:\newlineCalculation: 1010 ships ×\times 300300 sailors per ship == 30003000 sailors.
