Question

If the factory has 13659 wheels, 3327 handles, and 1927 wagon beds in stock, then what is the maximum number of wagons the factory can make?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Assuming each wagon requires:

• 4 wheels
• 1 handle
• 1 wagon bed

We can divide the number of wheels by `4` to determine how many wagons could be made from the wheels:

`13659/4 =3414.75` with a remainder of `3`

There are 3327 handles and 1927 wagon beds.

Because the 1,927 wagon beds is the limiting factor, the factory could make:

1,927 wagons.
