If 8 children ate a crate of egg in 12days, how long will 6 children take to eat same crate of egg, if they eat at the same rate
:
8 * 12 = 96 egg-days available
"how long will 6 children take to eat same crate of egg, if they eat at the same rate"
let d = no. of days for 6 kids to eat this amt
6d = 96
d = 96/6
d = 16 days
