Suppose Azerbaijan is willing to trade 3 nails to Uzbekistan for every bolt that Uzbekistan makes and sends to Azerbaijan. Which of the following combinations of bolts and nails could Azerbaijan then consume, assuming Uzbekistan specializes in making bolts and Azerbaijan specializes in making nails?

Incomplete questions. Should include options:

a.8 bolts and 56 nails

b.14 bolts and 44 nails  correct answer

c.18 bolts and 32 nails

d.20 bolts and 26 nails

Explanation: Azerbaijan is willing to trade 3 nails to Uzbekistan for every bolt that Uzbekistan makes.

Therefore for every 3 nails produced Azerbaijan gets 1 bolt.

3 nails  gives 1 bolt

6 nails gives 2 bolts

9 nails gives 3 bolts

12 nails gives 4 bolts

15 nails gives 5 bolts

18 nails gives 6 bolts

21 nails gives 7 bolts

42 nails gives 14 bolts.

This is the closest answer.
