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.

pogonyaev

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the sum of interior angles of polygon is (n - 2)180

Where n represents number of sides

(n-2)180 = 1080 ------ Divide through by 180

(n-2)180/180 = 1080/180

n-2 = 6

n = 6+2

n = 8
