1000 wooden logs were used

Solution:

Given that There is a wood shop that makes boats

The number of boats constructed can be determined by the equation:

B = 0.04w

Where "B" is the number of boats

"w" is the number of wooden logs used

To find: number of wooden logs used when 40 boats are used

To find the number of wooden logs used, substitute B = 40 in given equation

B = 0.04w

40 = 0.04w


0.04w = 40\\\\w = (40)/(0.04) = 1000

Thus 1000 wooden logs were used
