Question

Сто пиратов переносили на берег сундуки с сокровищами. Каждый сундук несли семеро пиратов. Капитан Сильвер считает, что во время переноски все пираты заработали поровну, поскольку каждый участвовал в переноске 65 сундуков. Докажите, что капитан ошибся.

Answer 1

Капитан Сильвестр ошибся т.к.1 сундук несли семеро пиратов, всего пиратов было 100, а сундуков -65. Если мы посчитаем сколько ходок сделали пираты неся по 7ро человек 1 сундук
(65*7)/100=455/100=4,55 у нас не получается число делящиеся на число количества пиратов, значит это количество сундуков нельзя разделить поровну среди 100 пиратов 

Answer 2

The Error in Captain Silver's Calculation

Captain Silver's claim that all the pirates earned an equal amount during the transfer of the treasure chests is incorrect. Let's examine the situation more closely.

According to the information provided, there were 100 pirates involved in carrying the treasure chests to the shore. Each chest was carried by seven pirates. Captain Silver assumes that since each pirate participated in carrying 65 chests, they all earned the same amount. However, this assumption is flawed.

To understand why Captain Silver's calculation is incorrect, we need to consider the total number of chests and the distribution of work among the pirates.

Total Number of Chests

The total number of chests can be calculated by multiplying the number of pirates involved in carrying each chest by the number of chests carried by each pirate. In this case, there were 100 pirates and each pirate carried 65 chests. Therefore, the total number of chests is:

100 pirates * 65 chests per pirate = 6500 chests

Distribution of Work

Since each chest was carried by seven pirates, we can calculate the total number of chests carried by all the pirates by dividing the total number of chests by seven:

6500 chests / 7 pirates per chest = 928.57 chests

As we can see, the result is not a whole number. This means that not all the pirates carried the same number of chests. Some pirates carried more chests than others, resulting in an uneven distribution of work.

Therefore, Captain Silver's assumption that all the pirates earned the same amount is incorrect. The pirates who carried more chests would have earned more than those who carried fewer chests.

In conclusion, Captain Silver's claim that all the pirates earned an equal amount during the transfer of the treasure chests is not supported by the given information. The uneven distribution of work among the pirates means that some pirates would have earned more than others.
