Question 646234
2 mice eat 2 meals in 2 days
So, 1 mouse will take twice as long
to eat the same number of meals
----------------------------
1 mouse eats 2 meals in 4 days
9 mice can eat 9 times as many meals
in the same amount of time, so
---------------------------
9 mice eat 18 meals in 4 days
It will take 4 times as many mice to
eat he same number of meals in
1/4 of the time, so
---------------------------
36 mice eat 18 meals in 1 day
It will only take 1/6 as many mice to
eat the same number of meals in
6 times as much time, so
----------------------------
6 mice eat 18 meals in 6 days
