Question 553659: If 4 horses eat 4 bales of hay in 4 days, in how many days will 20 horses eat 30 bales of hay?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! This looks like a nice problem!! You have 5 times as many horses, so you will need 5 times as much hay for every 4 days. This would be 4*5 = 20 bales of hay for every 4 days. If you have 30 bales of hay, this will last for 1 and a half 4 day periods, which is 4 days + 2 days = 6 days.
