Question

Team A ships six times as many parcels as Team B and one third as many as Team C. If Team C ships 287,450 parcels, how many parcels does Team B ship?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of packages that Team B ships is 15969

We make use of the following representations

A \toA→ Team A

B \toB→ Team B

C \toC→ Team C

From the first statement in the question

A = 6BA=6B ---- 6 times as many as B

From the second statement

A =\frac{1}{3}CA=

3

1

C ---1/3 as many as C

From the third

C = 287450C=287450 ---- packages by team C

To calculate the number of packages by team B,

Substitute C = 287450C=287450 in A =\frac{1}{3}CA=

C

A = \frac{1}{3} * 287450A=

1

∗287450

A = \frac{287450}{3}A=

3

287450

Next, we calculate the number of packages by team A by substituting A = \frac{287450}{3}A=

3

287450

in A = 6BA=6B

\frac{287450}{3} =6B

3

287450

=6B

Make B the subject

B = \frac{287450}{3*6}B=

3∗6

287450

B = \frac{287450}{18}B=

18

287450

B = 15969B=15969 -- approximated to the nearest whole number
