Question

if it 2 monkeys can 4 bananas in 5 minutes, how many monkeys would it take to consume 40 bananas in 10 minutes? :]

Answer 1

if 2 monkeys eats 4 in 5 minutes.. then 1 monkey would eat 4 in 10 minutes.. because you halved the amount of monkeys so you double the time... so it would take 10 monkeys to eat 40 bananas in 10 minutes as the amount of bananas has been multiplied by 10 (from 4 to 40) so the amount of monkeys is multiplied by 10 (1 to 10)

so 10 monkeys :)

Answer 2

2/(4*5) = x/(40*10)

x = 40

Answer 3

20

Answer 4

One monkey can eat 2 bananas in 5 minutes

and 4 bananas in 10 minutes

Therefore it'll take 10 monkeys to consume 40 bananas in 10 minutes. Enjoy!
