Question

Elsa wants to build a snowman. Elsa only has 20 Frozen energies to make them. Each large snowman requires 5 Frozen energies and a small snowman requires 2 Frozen energies. Anna's display area is 48 f t2 . A large snowman takes up 10 f t2 and a small snowman takes up 8 f t2 . What are the number of small and large snowmen Elsa and Anna can make?

Answer 1

48/8=8 this means Elsa can create a minimum of 8 small snowmen to cover the display area. 8x2=16 which means Elsa would have 4 spare frozen energies. OR 10 can go into 48 a maximum of 3 times to make LARGE snowmen without using all her energy but not enough to cover the display area. 48-30=18 Elsa still has five energies left so she can build two SMALL snowmen giving her a total of 16 with a remainder of two square feet uncovered. OR Elsa can make two large snowmen (covering 20 square feet and leaving her 10 energies left) and make five small snowmen which would cover a total of 40 square feet. 40+20=60 which is too much. 60-48=12. If Elsa made four small snowmen instead of five it would equal 32. 32+20=52 which is still too much. If Elsa made three small snowmen instead of four it would equal 24. 24+20= 44 which isn't enough to fill the display.

Please give hearts I really need the points!
