How much wood can a woodchuck chuck in a hour??

Question

Nine woodchucks can chuck eight pieces of wood in three hours. How much wood can a woodchuck chuck in 1 hour?

This problem threw me for a loop. I don't even know how to go about solving this.

Answer 1

0

Answer 2

8wood/(9 woodchucks*3hours)= 8 wood per 27 woodchuck hours =

8/27 wood per woodchuck hour

so

8/27ths of a wood per woodchuck per hour

Answer 3

9 woodchucks chuck 8 pieces in 3 hrs.

9 woodchucks chuck 8/3 (2.666) pieces in 1 hr.

1 woodchuck chucks 8/27 (.3) pieces in 1 hr.

.3 pieces of wood is the final answer.  all i did was divide.

Answer 4

9 woodchucks can chuck 8 pieces of wood in 3 hours

in 1 hour, 9 woodchucks can chuck:

8 / 3 = 2,67 pieces of wood

1 woodchuck would then chuck:

2,67 / 9 = 0,3 pieces of wood in 1 hour

Answer 5

= 8/(9 * 3)

= 8/27

Answer: 8/27 or 29 17/27% of a wood
