Question
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 4 candy bars every 3 days, so he is selling 4/3 = 1.33 candy bars per day.
To sell his box of 36 candy bars, it will take him 36 / 1.33 = 27.07 days.
Since the answer should be a whole number, it will take him 28 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars. Answer: \boxed{28}.
To find out how many days it will take Nigel to sell his box of 36 candy bars, we can set up a proportion using the average rate of selling candy bars.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
4 bars / 3 days = 36 bars / x days
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
4x = 3 * 36
Now we can simplify and solve for x:
4x = 108
x = 108 / 4
x = 27
Therefore, it will take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars.
To solve this question, we need to find out how many groups of 4 bars are in a box of 36 bars.
We can start by calculating the number of groups of 4 bars in 36 bars. To do this, we divide the total number of bars (36) by the number of bars he sells per group (4):
36 bars / 4 bars per group = 9 groups
So, Nigel will sell his box of 36 candy bars in 9 groups.
Now, we need to find out how many days it will take for him to sell these 9 groups of bars.
We are given that he sells 4 bars every 3 days, so we can calculate the number of days it takes for one group of 4 bars:
3 days / 1 group = 3 days
Therefore, it takes Nigel 3 days to sell one group of 4 bars.
To find out the total number of days it will take him to sell all 9 groups, we multiply the number of days per group by the number of groups:
3 days per group x 9 groups = 27 days
So, it will take Nigel 27 days to sell his box of 36 candy bars.
