if it takes 1 monkey to eat a banana in 1 minute how long will it take 8 monkeys to eat 8 bananas
sorry how many minutes will it take 8 monkeys
Each monkey has to eat one banana? So the total will be 8 bananas? The answer will be just 1 minute (assuming that all monkeys eat at the same time)
I am not so certain they eat at the same time: After all, we know they have to watch others first, what monkey see, monkey do.
To solve this problem, we can assume that each monkey takes the same amount of time to eat a banana, and that the time it takes to eat a banana is independent of the number of monkeys.
If it takes 1 monkey to eat a banana in 1 minute, we can conclude that each monkey takes 1 minute to eat a banana.
Therefore, if there are 8 monkeys and 8 bananas, it would still take 1 minute for each monkey to eat one banana. So, it would take 8 monkeys 1 minute to eat 8 bananas.
