Answer: 29 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.
If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.
so X is in the units can/day
then we have that:
24/15*X = 20
X = 20*15/24 = 12.5
This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.
then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:
(36/C)*12.5 = 16
C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215
And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.
Answer:The constant of proportionality is represented by x.
Hope this helps.
B because if you multiply .15 and .45 by 100 you get 15% and 45%. 45% is much higher than 15%
I think it's like 16 or 10. this is a weird word problem
The two "shorter" sides are referring to the legs of the triangles, because the hypotenuse is the largest side. Looking at this, we can find that it's a 3-4-5 triangle, which means that the scaling factor is 3, because 9/3 =3, 12/3=4, meaning we multiply 5 by 3 to get 15.
