Calculate Total Wood Amount: Calculate the total amount of wood Astrid can receive: Calculation: 4tons/day×100days=400tons.
Determine Ships Quantity: Determine how many ships can be built with 400 tons of wood:Calculation: 400 tons /40 tons per ship =10 ships.
Check Sailor Accommodation: Check if 10 ships can accommodate at least 2100 sailors:Calculation: 10 ships ×300 sailors per ship =3000 sailors.
