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.
Nigel's rate of selling is 4 candy bars every 3 days.
In 1 day, Nigel sells 4/3 candy bars.
If Nigel wants to sell 36 candy bars, it will take him 36 / (4/3) = 27 days. Answer: \boxed{27}.
To find out how many days it will take Nigel to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we need to calculate the number of sets of 4 bars he sells in 36.
Since Nigel sells 4 bars every 3 days, we can set up a proportion:
4 bars / 3 days = 36 bars / x days
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
4 * x = 3 * 36
4x = 108
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 108 / 4
x = 27
Therefore, it will take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars.
To find out how many days it will take for Nigel to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we need to determine how many sets of 4 bars he can sell in 1 day.
Nigel is averaging 4 bars every 3 days, which means he can sell 4/3 bars per day. To find the number of days it will take to sell the entire box, we can divide the total number of bars (36) by the number of bars Nigel sells per day (4/3).
So, the equation to find the number of days (D) is:
36 / (4/3) = D
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as:
36 * (3/4) = D
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(36 * 3) / 4 = D
108 / 4 = D
27 = D
So, it will take 27 days for Nigel to sell his entire box of 36 candy bars at his average rate of 4 bars every 3 days.
