Question 758903
4 people have p number of provisions requiring 30 days to consume.
1 person could use p provisions over a period of 4*30 days to consume.


The analysis is to understand the pattern affecting the use of p number of provisions.  Changing from 4 people to 1 person requires multiplying time by 4.  Now to change from 4 people to 6 people should require multiplying by {{{4/6=2/3}}}.


The short analyzed pattern should indicate 6 people need {{{(2/3)*30=20}}} days to consume the provisions.
