Step-by-step explanation:
Huw's answer of 9 days is incorrect because more guests would finish the food in less time so the number of days for 30 guests is less than 6 days.
The number of days that the food can last 30 guests is 4 days.
<h3>How long will Seaview Hotel's food feed 30 guests?</h3>
More guests would eat the food faster which means that it would be finished in less days than the 6 days used by 20 guests.
To find the days the food would last 30 guests, use the inverse proportion formula:
= (Number of guests x Number of days food lasts for guests) / New number of guests
= (20 x 6) / 30
= 4 days
Full question is:
The only food provided for guests at Seaview Hotel is breakfast. The hotel has enough food to make breakfast for 20 guests for 6 days. How long would the food last 30 guests? You may assume each guest eats the same amount of food for breakfast.
Without working out the correct answer, explain why Huw’s answer of 9 days is incorrect.

First I would change the descriptions of the numbers into expressions.
first number is n
second number is n + 6
third number is 4n (4 x n)
Then you would insert these expressions into an equation and isolate n.
n + n + 6 + 4n = 144
n + n + 4n = 144 - 6
6n = 138
n = 138/6
n = 23
Lastly, you would plug in this value into all of the expressions.
first number is 23
second number is 23 + 6 = 29
third number is 4(23) = 92
Therefore, the numbers are 23, 29, and 92.
