Mr Logan can saw 8 logs in 3 hours. How many logs can Mr Logan saw in one hour?
8/3 = 2 2/3
3hours=8 logs
1hour =?
if less, more will divide.
1/3 multiplys 8logs
=8/3
=2 2/3
Thank you, Ms. Sue and Vanessa! I thought this might be a trick question, and that perhaps the correct answer was 2 (keeping logs whole).
To find out how many logs Mr. Logan can saw in one hour, we can use a basic concept of mathematics called the "unitary method."
The given information is that Mr. Logan can saw 8 logs in 3 hours.
To find out how many logs he can saw in one hour, we divide the total number of logs by the total number of hours.
So, we divide 8 logs by 3 hours:
8 logs ÷ 3 hours = 2.67 logs per hour (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Mr. Logan can saw approximately 2.67 logs in one hour.
