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.
C: 60 children because 60 cannont go into 9 which is the amount of children in the first ratio
During the 9 mile hike he spends 2 periods of half hour swimming = 1 hour.
actual hiking time = 3*3 = 9 hours
So total time = 9+1 = 10 hours
