Question: An average American eats 50 pounds of canned food in 120 days. How many pounds would he eat in 8 days.


A ) 3.83 pounds
B ) 3.33 pounds
C ) 2.83 pounds
D ) none of the above

Steps to derive

1 Let n represent the quantity of food an average American person eats in 8 days.

 [DaysQuantity.]
2 12050 = 8n

 [Write the cross products.]
3 120 × n = 8 × 50

 [Multiply.]
4 120n = 400

 [Divide each side by 120.]
5 120n120 = 400120

 [Simplify.]
6 n = 3.33

7 An average American would eat 3.33 pounds of canned food in 8 days.



Hence the right answer is Option B
