in a certain village , 20 litres of water are required per household per month . at this rate , if there are 10 households in the village , how long ( in months ) will 2000 litres of water last ?
i find it much easier to understand with real numbers , so choose ( almost ) any numbers to replace m , n and p : in a certain village , m 20 litres of water are required per household per month . at this rate , if there aren 10 households in the village , how long ( in months ) willp 2000 litres of water last ? water required is 20 * 10 = 200 ( m * n ) water available is 2000 ( p ) it will last 10 months ( p / m * n ) ans : c
divide(2000, multiply(20, 10))
