Question

Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks. The number of trees they chop down is given by b+2c+3jb+2c+3jb, plus, 2, c, plus, 3, j where bbb is the number of hours Ben spends chopping, ccc is the number of hours Cam spends chopping, and jjj is the number of hours Justin spends chopping. How many trees do they chop down after Ben spends 888 hours chopping, Cam spends 333 hours chopping, and Justin spends 444 hours chopping?

Answer 1

Answer:

26 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of trees Ben, Cam, and Justin can chop down is given by:

b+2c+3j

Where:

b is the number of hours Ben spends chopping.

c is the number of hours Cam spends chopping.

j is the number of hours Justin spends chopping.

We want to determine the number of trees they chop down after Ben spends 8 hours chopping, Cam spends 3 hours chopping, and Justin spends 4 hours chopping.

b=8, c=3, j=4

Substituting these in the given equation

b+2c+3j=8+2(3)+3(4)=8+6+12 = 26

They chop down a total of 26 trees.

Answer 2

Answer:

26 trees chopped altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that;

-Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks.

-The number of trees they chop down is given by b+2c+3j

where;

b is the number of hours Ben spends chopping

c is the number of hours Cam spends chopping

j is the number of hours Justin spends chopping.

We are told that;

Ben spends 8 hours to chop

Cam spends 3 hours to chop

Justin spends 4 hours to chop

Thus, Substituting in the given equation we get

Total nmber of trees chopped = b + 2 c + 3 j = 8 + 2(3) + 3(4) = 8 + 6 + 12

 = 26

They have chopped 26 trees altogether
