Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. One logger can cut down 6 trees per day. The forest is a rectangle measuring 4 miles by 6 miles, and each square mile has 600 trees. If there are 30 days in each month, how many months will it take 8 loggers to cut down all the trees?
First find the total area of the forest: 4 miles * 6 miles = 24 square miles. Then find the total number of trees in that area: 600 trees / square mile * 24 square miles = 14400 trees. Then find the number of trees all the loggers can cut down in one day: 8 loggers * 6 trees / logger = 48 trees. Then divide the total number of trees by the number cut down per day to find the number of days it takes to clear the forest: 14400 trees / 48 trees / day = 300 days. Then divide the time in days by the number of days per month to find the time in months: 300 days / 30 days / month = 10 months.
The final answer: 10.
