Question

A summer camp was opening and needed to build the campground lodges. There were 6 areas to build on. Each area needed 18 houses. Each house needed 1,000 logs. How many logs did the summer camp need?

A: 6,000 logs
B: 108,000 logs
C: 1,080 logs
D: 10,800 logs

Answer 1

The summer camp needs 108,000 logs for construction, determined by multiplying the 6 areas, 18 houses per area, and 1,000 logs required for each house.

Step-by-step explanation:

The summer camp needed a total number of logs that can be calculated by multiplying the number of areas, the number of houses per area, and the number of logs needed per house. To find the total, we perform the following calculation:

• Number of areas to build on: 6
• Number of houses per area: 18
• Number of logs per house: 1,000

So the total number of logs needed for the summer camp is:

Total logs = Areas × Houses/Area × Logs/House

= 6 × 18 × 1,000

= 108,000 logs

Therefore, the correct answer is B: 108,000 logs.
