Question 646234
2 mice eat 2 meals in 2 days, how many mice can eat 18 meals in 6 days?
----
# of mice is directly related to # of meals and indirectly related to# of days
-----
m = k*m/d
---
Solve for "k" using "2 mice eat 2 meals in 2 days"
2 = k*2/2
k = 2
-----
Equation:
m = 2*m/d
-----
How many mice can eat 18 meals in 6 days?
m = 2*18/6
m = 6 (# of mice needed)
