The carpenter has in stock 26 long wooden panels, 33 short wooden panels, 200 small clips, 20 large clips and 510 screws.
How many sets of bookshelves can the carpenter make?

Answer 1

5 sets of bookshelves

Explanation:

To solve this question, go through each component and see whether the carpenter has enough.

5 x 4 = 20

5 x 6 = 30

5 × 12 = 60

5 x 2 = 10

5 x 14 = 70

So the maximum he can make is 5 sets

hope this helps :)
