Question

A carpenter goes through 24 boxes of nails finishing

3½ rooves. How much would he use finishing 4 rooves?

Answer 1

28 boxes

Explanation:

3.5 rooves need boxes of nails = 24

1 roove need boxes of nails = 24/3.5

4 rooves need boxes of nails = 24/3.5 *4

=27.428

as we cant not purchase boxes in decimals, so we will round off the answer to 28 boxes.
