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 is selling candy bars at a rate of 4 bars every 3 days. To find out how many days it will take to sell the entire box, we need to find the number of groups of 4 bars there are in 36 bars.
36 / 4 = <<36/4=9>>9 groups
Therefore, it will take Nigel 3 days x 9 groups = <<3*9=27>>27 days to sell his entire box. Answer: \boxed{27}.
To find out how many days it will take Nigel to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we can set up a proportion based on his average rate.
Nigel is selling 4 bars every 3 days, so the ratio of bars sold to days is 4:3.
Let's set up the proportion:
4 bars / 3 days = 36 bars / x days
To solve for x (the number of days), we can cross-multiply:
4 * x = 3 * 36
4x = 108
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
x = 108 / 4
x = 27
Therefore, if Nigel continues selling candy bars at this rate, it will take him 27 days to sell his box of 36.
To find the number of days it will take for Nigel to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we can set up a proportion.
Nigel is currently selling 4 candy bars every 3 days. We can express this as the ratio 4/3.
Let's represent the number of days it will take to sell the box of 36 candy bars as 'x'.
So, we have the proportion: 4/3 = 36/x.
To solve for 'x', we can cross-multiply: (4 * x) = (3 * 36).
Simplifying this equation, we have: 4x = 108.
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate 'x': x = 27.
Therefore, it will take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars.
