Answer Key #3

Daily Dilemma #3: Answer Key

Let a = Prince Henry’s age when he became interested in ships. 2 (a + 12) = 50 so a = 13 years old

turns of wheel	3	6	9	12	15	18	21	24
height of sail	4	8	12	16	20	24	28	32

So 24 turns of the wheel opens the sail 32 feet.
Every time the wheel t turns 3 times, the height of the sail increases 4 feet.

3 X 5 = 15 meals

129 ÷ 3 = 43 sailors on each ship
