The Beaver Olympics

A beaver's teeth and jaws are so powerful

that a group can fell a tree 20 inches thick

in 15 minutes.

 

The Beaver Olympics is coming up

this summer, and Bart beaver claims

his family can fell a tree twice as fast

as the average group of beavers.

Betty beaver claims her family can

fell a tree triple that size in double

the time as the average group of beavers.

 

The day of the competition, the beavers will

be required to fell the following trees. Based on

Bart's and Betty's prediction, how much time will it

take each beaver family to fell the trees, and who

will be the gold medel winner?

Tree 1 20 inches thick

Tree 2 60 inches thick

Tree 3 10 inches thick
