Suppose 8 monkeys take 8 minutes to eat 8 bananas.
a) How many minutes would it take 3 monkeys to eat 3 bananas?
(b) How many monkeys would it take to eat 48 bananas in 48 minutes
( plz explain?!

• 8 monkeys take 8 minutes to eat 8 bananas means each monkey takes 8 min for 1 banana
  in 48 mins one monkey can eat 6 bananas....which means that 8 monkeys can eat 48 bananas in 48 minutes
  so answer is 8 monkeys

• (n1*t1)/w1=(n2*t2)/w2
  n1=8 monkeys t1=time w1=work=banana
  so, 8*8/8=3*x/3
  x=8 is d ans.

• (m1*t1)/w1=(m2*t2)/w2
  (8*8)/8=(3*x)/3=8
  (8*8)/8=(x*48)/48=8
  so the ans is 8

• a)8 mins
  b)8 monkeys
  a) 8 monkey 8 banana 8 min
  1 "" 8 "" (8*8)min
  1 "" 1"" (8*8)/8= 8 min
  3 "" 1"" 8/3 min
  3"" 3"" (8*3)/3= 8 min
  b) 8 banana 8 min 8 monkeys
  8 banana 1 min 8*8 monkeys
  1 banana 1 min 8*8/8 monkeys =8 monkeys
  48 " 1 min 8*48
  48 " 48 min (8*48)/48=8 monkeys

• Each monkey take 8 min. to eat 8 bananas.
  a) 3 monkeys take 3 min. to eat 3 bananas.
  b) 48/8=6, so 6 monkeys take 48 min. to eat 48 bananas

• (m1*t1)/w1=(m2*t2)/w2
  (8*8)/8=(3*x)/3=8
  (8*8)/8=(x*48)/48=8
  so the ans is 8

• If 8 monkeys take 8 minutes to eat 8 bananas, then 1 monkey takes 8 minutes to eat 1 banana.
  
  So 3 monkeys will take 8 minutes to eat 3 bananas.
  
  1 monkey can eat 1 banana in 8 minutes, so 1 monkey can eat 6 bananas in 48 (8 x 6) minutes. Therefore, 8 monkeys can eat 48 bananas in 48 minutes

• 8 monkeys take 8 mins to eat 8 bananas.
  so, 1 monkey take 8 min to eat 1 banana.
  Hence 3 monkey will also take 8 minutes to eat 3 bananas.
  if 1 monkey eats for 48 mins it will eat 6 bananas
  there are 48 bananas, so we need 8 monkeys giving 6 bananas each.
