Five toymakers each carved 28 blocksand 17 airplanes. Three other toymakerseach carved the same number ofairplanes and twice as many blocks. Howmany toys did the eight carve in all
To find out how many toys the eight toymakers carved in total, we need to calculate the number of toys each toymaker carved and then add them up.
First, let's find out how many toys five toymakers carved. Each of them carved 28 blocks and 17 airplanes. So the total number of toys carved by these five toymakers is:
(28 blocks/toymaker * 5 toymakers) + (17 airplanes/toymaker * 5 toymakers) = (140 blocks) + (85 airplanes) = 225 toys.
Now let's calculate the number of toys carved by the three other toymakers. We are told that each of them carved the same number of airplanes and twice as many blocks. Let's denote the number of airplanes carved by each of these three toymakers as A, and the number of blocks as B.
So A airplanes/toymaker * 3 toymakers = 3A airplanes carved in total.
B blocks/toymaker * 2 = 2B blocks carved in total.
Using the given information, we can set up the following equations:
A = B (each toymaker carved the same number of airplanes as blocks)
3A + 2B = total number of toys carved by these three toymakers.
Since we don't know the actual values of A and B, we cannot directly calculate the number of toys carved by these three toymakers. The information provided is insufficient.
However, if we are given the values of A or B, we can substitute it in the equation to find the total number of toys carved.
Finally, to find the total number of toys carved by all eight toymakers, we add the number of toys carved by the five toymakers to the number of toys carved by the three toymakers:
225 toys + (number of toys carved by the three toymakers) = total number of toys carved by all eight toymakers.
Again, since we don't have enough information about the number of toys carved by the three toymakers, we cannot determine the final answer.
