Question

A team of eight lumberjacks cut an average of 15,000 cubic feet of timber in a week. How many cubic feet will four lumberjacks cut in four weeks? *

Answer 1

Four lumberjacks will cut 30000 feet³

GIVEN: Team of lumberjacks consists = of 8 member;  Cut average feet = 15,000

TO FIND: 4 lumberjacks will cut how much in four weeks.

SOLUTION:

In this question, we are given that a team of 8 members cut 15,000 feet in a week.

We need to find that a team of 4 people will cut how many feet in 4 weeks.

So, by applying the unitary method we will find how much a team of 8 is cutting in a week.

This problem can be solved by the unitary method:

8 lumberjacks cut in 1 week = 15000 feet³

1  lumberjacks cut in 1 week =  $\frac{15,000}{8}$

                                           = 1875 feet³

1  lumberjacks cut in 4 week = 1875 × 4

                                               = 7500 feet³

4 lumberjacks cut in 4 week = 7500  × 4

                                            = 30000 feet³

So, 30000 feet³ will four lumberjacks cut in four weeks.

Answer 2

Four lumberjacks will cut the timber of 30000 cubic feet in four weeks.

Given:

Eight lumberjacks cut an average of 15000 cubic feet of timber in one week.

To Find:

The amount of timber that a team of four lumberjacks can cut in four weeks.

Solution:

We can find the answer very easily as given below,

We have,

A team of 8 lumberjacks cut 15000 cubic feet in one week

That is,

The amount of timber that 8 lumberjacks cut in 1 week = 15000 cubic feet

So,

The amount of timber that 1 lumberjack can cut in 1 week = $\frac{15000}{8}$ cubic feet

= 1875 cubic feet

The amount of timber that 1 lumberjack can cut in 4 weeks will be,

= 1875 × 4

= 7500 cubic feet

So,

The amount of timber that 4 lumberjacks can cut in 4 weeks will be,

= 7500 × 4

= 30000 cubic feet

Hence, the amount of timber that four lumberjacks can cut in four weeks is equal to 30000 cubic feet.
