Using the appropriate arithmetic operation, the amount of potatoes and cabbage require for the voyage are 19998 and 26664 respectively.

  • Number of men = 47
  • Number of women = 32
  • Number of children = 22
  • Number of voyage days

Total number of passengers = (47 + 32 + 22) = 101

1.)

If each person gets 3 potatoes per day :

Number of potatoes needed per day = (3×101) = 303

Number of potatoes needed for entire voyage = (303 × 66) = 19998 potatoes.

2.)

If each person gets 4 cabbage per day :

Number of cabbage needed per day = (4×101) = 404

Number of cabbage needed for entire voyage = (404 × 66) = 26664 cabbages.

Hence, the number of cabbage needed for the voyage would be 26664 cabbages.
