Question

Mrs Anderson has 185 pieces of wood he sold 25 peacas of wood to his neighbor and distract the rest of the world into piles around his house each pile of wood contained 40 pieces of wood which equation can be used to find peat the number of piles of wood Mr. Anderson made?

Answer 1

Answer: Let x be the number of piles of wood that Mr. Anderson made.

We know that he sold 25 pieces of wood to his neighbor, and the rest of the pieces of wood were divided into piles around his house, with each pile containing 40 pieces of wood.

Therefore, we can set up the equation:

185 pieces - 25 pieces = x * 40 pieces

Simplifying the equation:

160 = x * 40

To find the value of x, we need to divide 160 by 40

160/40 = x

x = 4

Therefore, Mr. Anderson made 4 piles of wood after he sold 25 pieces of wood to his neighbor.

It's worth noting that this equation was used to find the number of piles of wood Mr. Anderson made after selling 25 pieces to his neighbor, and assuming that he didn't use the rest of the wood for anything else except for making the piles.
