a cook goes into the store room & take out 1/6 of rice from a 72 kg sack.if he uses 2/3 kg of this rice each day,how many days will the rice he took out last?

1/6 * 72 = 12

2/3 * 12 = 24/3 = 8 days

18

To find out how many days the rice will last, we need to calculate the total amount of rice taken out and divide it by the amount used each day.

1. Calculate the amount of rice taken out from a 72 kg sack:
Total rice taken out = 1/6 * 72 kg
= (1/6) * 72 kg
= 12 kg of rice

2. Calculate the amount of rice used each day:
Amount used each day = 2/3 kg

3. Calculate the number of days the rice will last:
Number of days = Total rice taken out / Amount used each day
= 12 kg / (2/3 kg)
= 12 kg * (3/2 kg)
= 36 / 2
= 18 days

Therefore, the rice taken out will last for 18 days.

To find out how many days the rice the cook took out will last, we need to divide the amount of rice taken out by the amount used each day.

1. Calculate the amount of rice taken out:
1/6 of 72 kg = (1/6) * 72 kg = 12 kg

2. Calculate the amount of rice used each day:
2/3 kg per day

3. Divide the amount of rice taken out by the amount used each day to find the number of days it will last:
12 kg / (2/3 kg per day) = 12 kg * (3/2 kg per day)
Next, simplify the calculation:
12 kg * 3/2 kg per day = 36 kg / 2 kg per day = 18 days

Therefore, the rice the cook took out will last for 18 days.
