To build the fleet of ships, Astrid must consider each of the given rates (i.e. the daily tons of wood, the sailors per ship, etc.). The available deliveries are enough to build ships that can accommodate at least 2100 sailors.
Given that:
Required quantities
[tex]Wood = 40\ tons[/tex]
[tex]Sailors = 300[/tex] per ship
Available quantities
[tex]Wood = 4\ tons[/tex] daily
[tex]Days = 100[/tex] at most
First, we calculate the total tons of woods Astrid can receive.
[tex]Total = Days \times Wood\ Available[/tex]
[tex]Total = 100 \times 4[/tex]
[tex]Total = 400\ tons[/tex] ---- in 100 days
Next, we calculate the number of ships that can be made from the 400 tons.
[tex]Ships = \frac{Total\ tons}{Wood\ Required}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Ships = \frac{400}{40}[/tex]
[tex]Ships = 10[/tex]
This means that Astrid can build up to 10 ships
The number of sailors the ship can accommodate is:
[tex]Sailors = Ships \times Sailors\ per\ ship[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Sailors = 10 \times 300[/tex]
[tex]Sailors = 3000[/tex]
It means the 10 ships can accommodate 3000 sailors.
3000 sailors is greater than 2100 sailors.
So, we can conclude that she can build enough ship for the 2100 sailors.
