Using proportions, it is found that the same job will take Mrs. Squirrel 6 hours.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
The times are given as follows:
- Mrs. Squirrel: x.
- Mr. Turtle: 3 days.
- Mr. Pigeon: 30 minutes = Half an hour = 1/48 day.
The ratios are as follows:
Turtle/Squirrel = Squirrel/Pigeon.
Hence:
x = 1/4.
It takes 1/4 of a day for Mrs. Squirrel to do the job, hence 1/4 x 24 hours = 6 hours.
