My question is: Adam owns a wood carving shop, if a block of basswood can create 3 figurines and a block of butternut wood can create 4 figurines, and a block of Aspen wood can make twice the amount of figurines compared to basswood, how many figurines can he make if he owns 15 blocks of basswood, 20 blocks of butternut wood, and 20 blocks of Aspen wood? Your thoughts:
Adam can make 15 x 3 = 45 figurines out of the blocks of basswood. He can also make 3 x 2 = 6 figurines out of a block of Aspen wood. So, he can make 20 x 6 = 120 figurines out of all the blocks of Aspen wood. He can also make 20 x 4 = 80 figurines out of all the blocks of butternut wood. Therefore, Adam can make a total of 120 + 80 + 45 = 245 figurines using all the blocks of wood. The final answer: 245.
