Find the number of chipmunk-days required to consume 1 kg
ch-d =
ch-d = 22.5 chipmunk-days per kg
:
how long will it take for 72 chipmunks to consume 240 kg of nuts?
let d = no. of days to accomplish this
72d = 240 * 22.5
72d = 5400
d = 5400/72
d = 75 days for 72 of these creatures to consume 240 kg
