Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

1 day / (2/3 cup) = x/ 18 cups            Cross Multiply

1 day * 18 cups = 2/3 cup * x            Multiply both sides by 3

1 day * 18 cups * 3 = 2x

54 day cups = 2x cups                    Divide by 2

54 day cups/2 cups = x

27 days (The cups cancel)
