Jonathan is building an outdoor staircase for his deck. He uses 8 screws for every 2 steps. If there are 14 steps, how many screws does Jonathan need?​

Sagot :

Answer:

56 screws

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we can find how many screws he needs.

So,  if he uses 2 steps for 8 screws, and has 14 steps, that means he puts screws in 7 steps ( 14÷2)

then, if he uses 8 screws, each with 8 steps, we can do 8 times 7, which is 56 screws
