My question is: A woodworker is crafting enough furniture legs for their projects. They have made a total of 40 furniture legs so far, and this is the exact amount they needed for everything they’re building. If the woodworker is using these legs for their tables and chairs and they have built 6 chairs, how many tables have they made? Your thoughts:
The chairs need 6 chairs * 4 legs = 24 furniture legs. This means they are using 40 legs in total – 24 legs for chairs = 16 legs for the tables. They have therefore made 16 legs / 4 legs per table = 4 tables. The final answer: 4.
