Question

Help with math problem. ​

Answer 1

Number of logs:

1. 48

2. 14

3. 90

4. 48

5. 100

Total: 300

Explanation:

Just multiply the height with the number of trees then divide by 6. This is in theory if the length of all the trees were conjoined, as there would most likely just be less, then 300. This is because the remainder would be that of the multiplied trees height instead of getting the remainder of wood from each tree. So in case you want to try doing that option, simply divide the height first in feet by 8, then multiply that by the number of trees to give you an accurate answer of logs.

Answer 2

see attached

total: 300 logs

Explanation:

When calculations are repetitive, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do them.

Here, the number of logs per tree is found by dividing the tree height by 8 feet. The number of logs from trees that height will be found by multiplying the number of trees by the number of logs that height will give.

The total number of logs is the sum of the numbers from all the tree heights.

The total number of logs is 300. (The rightmost column of the attached spreadsheet matches the rightmost column of your table.)
