Question
Leanne is chopping wood for her campfire. She first walks to the woods, which is a 99 minute walk away. She chops some logs and then walks back home. The walk home is also 99 minutes.She wants to be home exactly 6060 minutes after leaving her house, and each log takes 66 minutes to chop.How many logs can she chop while in the woods?
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the total time Leanne spends walking. She walks for 99 minutes to the woods and 99 minutes back, so she spends 99 + 99 = 198 minutes walking.
Next, we need to find out how much time she has left for chopping wood. She wants to be home 6060 minutes after leaving, and she spends 198 minutes walking, so she has 6060 - 198 = 5862 minutes left for chopping wood.
Finally, we need to find out how many logs she can chop in this time. Each log takes 66 minutes to chop, so she can chop 5862 / 66 = 88.81818181818181 logs.
However, she can't chop a fraction of a log, so we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Leanne can chop 88 logs while in the woods.
