Question

Sofia is a construction manager.She builds 9 house frames, each at a different site. Each frame uses 256 beams. A bundle of 400 beams delivered to each site. How many beams dose it take to build the 9 house frames? How many beams are left over at 9 house sites altogether

Answer 1

2304 beams

1296 beams

Explanation:

Total beams to be used in the 9 houses = number of frames needed for a beam x total number of house frames

9 x 256 = 2304

Total beams left over = total number of beams delivered to the 9 houses - total number of beams to be used in the 9 houses

total number of beams delivered to the 9 houses = 400 x 9 = 3600

3600 - 2304 = 1296
