Question

2, en un curso de 37 estudiantes se proponen a elaborar un cohete con material reciclado, para poder hacer los cohetes, en el curso se cuenta con 151 tubos de cartón que se recolectaron en una jornada de reciclable. A: si para hacer un cohete se necesitan 4 tubos de cartón, ¿Hay suficientes tubos para que cada estudiante elabore su cohete?

Answer 1

Yes, there enough tubes for each student to make their rocket.

Explanation:

Given - In a course of 37 students they propose to make a rocket with recycled material, in order to make the rockets, in the course there are 151 cardboard tubes that were collected in a recyclable day.

To find - If 4 cardboard tubes are needed to make a rocket, are there enough tubes for each student to make their rocket ?

Proof -

Given that,

1 rocket is made with 4 cardboard tubes

Total cardboard tubes = 151

Now,

1 student will make 1 rocket

Total students = 37

⇒Total rockets made by the course = 37

Now,

1 rocket used 4 cardboard tubes

⇒37 rocket used 37×4 cardboard tubes

⇒37 rocket used 148 cardboard tubes.

As

148 < 151

⇒There are enough tubes for each student to make their rocket.
