Question

Santa and his elves are

making toys in Santa's
workshop for all the good
little girls and boys. If there
are twice as many wooden
cars as wooden trains and
there are 228 wooden vehicles
made, how many wooden
trains did they make?​

Answer 1

To find the number of wooden trains made, we can set up an equation and solve for 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's represent the number of wooden trains as 'x'.

According to the given information, there are twice as many wooden cars as wooden trains. So, the number of wooden cars can be represented as '2x'.

We are also given that the total number of wooden vehicles made is 228.

Therefore, the equation that represents the given information is: x + 2x = 228

Simplifying the equation, we get: 3x = 228

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 228/3 = 76

So, they made 76 wooden trains.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Wooden Cars = 2 × Wooden Trains

Ratio is

2 : 1

In total there are 3 parts

228 ÷ 3 = 76 (1 part)

Wooden Cars = 2 × 76 = 152

Wooden Trains = 1 × 76 = 76
