Question

For designing a tree house, you need screws. Your budget for buying screws is 26/4 dollars. How many screws can you buy if the cost of 1 screw is 1/6 dollar?

• A. 13
• B. 34
• C. 39
• D. 42

Answer 1

The correct option is C 39

Total cost available for buying screws = $\frac{26}{4}$ dollars

Cost of 1 screw = $\frac{1}{6}$ dollars

Number of screws = $\frac{Totalcost}{Costofonescrew}$

= $\frac{26}{4}$ $÷$ $\frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{26}{4}$ $\times$ 6

= 39

Hence, 39 screws can be bought using this cost.
