A relief center receives $1200$ emergency food packets. If there are $200$ people staying at the shelter and each person requires $3$ packets a day, for how many days will this food supply last?
  1. $2\text{ days}$
  2. $3\text{ days}$
  3. $4\text{ days}$
  4. $6\text{ days}$

Solution

Daily consumption $= 200 \times 3 = 600\text{ packets/day}$. Thus, $1200 \div 600 = 2\text{ days}$.
