Question

Willa is building birdhouses. Each side of the birdhouse will need 9 nails. How many nails does Willa need for each birdhouse? There are 7 sides on the birdhouse. If Willa uses only 7 nails on each side, how will the total number of nails she uses change?

Answer 1

The total number of nails will decrease by 14 nails when Willa will use 7 nails on each side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of one birdhouse = 7

Nails used on each side = 9

Nails used on one birdhouse = Nails per side * Sides of birdhouse

Nails used on one birdhouse = 9*7 = 63 nails

If she uses 7 nails on each side, then the number of nails used on one birdhouse;

No. of nails = 7 * 7 = 49 nails

Change = Nails used on one birdhouse - No. of nails

Change = 63 - 49 = 14

The total number of nails will decrease by 14 nails when Willa will use 7 nails on each side.
