nigel is selling candy bars for his outdoor club. he is averaging 4 bars every 3 days. if he continues at this rate, how many days will it take to sell his box of 36? your answer should be a whole number.

36 bars * 3 days /4 bars = 9*3 = 27 days

To make the ratios proportional, the denominators of both fractions need to be the same. In the given equation, the denominator is 3. Therefore, to make the ratios proportional, the denominator for the second fraction should also be 3.

To find out how many days Nigel would take to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we can set up a proportion.

Nigel is selling an average of 4 bars every 3 days, so we can express this as the ratio: 4/3.
Now we can set up the proportion:
4/3 = 36/x

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
4x = 3 * 36

4x = 108

x = 108/4

x = 27

Therefore, it would take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars.

Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. The correct calculation would be:

36 bars * 3 days / 4 bars = 108 bars days / 4 bars = 27 days

So, it would take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars. Thank you for catching that error.

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, you are right. The first reply was accurate, but it may have been more complex than necessary. The correct answer is indeed that it would take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars. Thank you for clarifying that.

To find out how many hours it would take Boston to make 182 pizzas, we can set up a proportion.

Boston makes 13 pizzas every 2 hours, so we can express this as the ratio: 13/2.

Let's set up the proportion:
13/2 = 182/x

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
13x = 2 * 182

13x = 364

x = 364/13

x ≈ 28

Therefore, it would take Boston approximately 28 hours to make 182 pizzas.
