Answer:

x = 9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

6/8 = x/12 = x/16

Simplify

3/4 = x/12 = x/16

Multiply 3/4 by 3/3 (does nothing but changes the number)

9/12 = x/12

x = 9

Multiply 3/4 by 4/4 ( also does nothing)

12/16 = x/16

x = 12

A shelter has enough food to feed an average of 80 hungry people a day for 14 days. If an average of 32 people are at the shelte

egoroff_w [7]

Multiply 80 by 14 to get how many total people they can feed.

80 times 14 is 1120.

Now, divide 1120 by 32 to get how many days the food will last if 32 people come every day.

1120/32 = 35.

The answer is B, 35 days
