If 27 chipmunks can consume 54 kg of nuts in 45 days,
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number of chipmunk-days required to consume 1 kg
\n" ); document.write( "ch-d = $\"%2827%2A45%29%2F54\"$
\n" ); document.write( "ch-d = 22.5 chipmunk-days per kg
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "how long will it take for 72 chipmunks to consume 240 kg of nuts?
\n" ); document.write( "let d = no. of days to accomplish this
\n" ); document.write( "72d = 240 * 22.5
\n" ); document.write( "72d = 5400
\n" ); document.write( "d = 5400/72
\n" ); document.write( "d = 75 days for 72 of these creatures to consume 240 kg
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
