Q: Making an equal number of drums of paint each day, a paint mixer takes three days to make 18 drums of paint. How many days will it take for him to make 360 drums of paint?
A: 60
Explain how we arrive at this answer:
Explanation: If a paint mixer takes three days to make 18 drums of paint in a day, he makes 18 / 3 = 6 drums of paint. The number of days it will take for him to make 360 drums of paint, making 6 drums a day, is 360 / 6 = 60 days.
