Answer:

From the comments below we see the missing part of the question is "in how many days will the ant farm consume 3 apples?"

The answer is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use a proportion to solve this.  It takes 3 days to consume 1/2 of an apple; this gives us the ratio

3/0.5

We want to know how many days, x, it will take to consume 3 apples; this gives us the ratio

x/3

Together this gives us the proportion

3/0.5 = x/3

Cross multiply:

3(3) = 0.5(x)

9 = 0.5x

Divide both sides by 0.5:

9/0.5 = 0.5x/0.5

18 = x

The ant farm will take 18 days to consume 3 apples.

Given that,

  • Ant farm consumes 0.5 apple in 3 Days.
  • We need to find days to consume 3 apples.
  • Let number of days be X.
  • Here we assume 3 apples.

According to above information, calculation of data are as follows,

[tex]X = (3 \div 0.5) \times 3\\\\X = 6 \times 3[/tex]

X = 18

So, Total number of days required is 18 days.
