Question

Jovie is maintaining a camp fire. She has kept the fire steadily burning for

hours with

logs. She wants to know how many hours

she could have kept the fire going with

logs. She assumes all logs are the same.
How many hours can Jovie keep the fire going with

logs?

Answer 1

If Jovie has kept the fire steadily burning for a certain number of hours with a certain number of logs, she can keep the fire going for the same number of hours with the same number of logs. The hours and logs do not change, unless they are replenished or removed. So if she has kept the fire going for a certain number of hours with a certain number of logs, she can keep the fire going for the same number of hours with the same number of logs.
