Our horses

Our horses have a supply of oats for 12 days. Our neighbor has half as much oats as we do, but twice as many horses.

a) How many days would our neighbor's supply of oats last our horses?
b) How many days would our neighbor's supply of oats last our horses?
c) How many days would the neighbor's supply of oats last his horses?

Correct answer:

a =  18 d
b =  6 d
c =  9 d

Step-by-step explanation:

n1=1111 z1=12 n1=12 1111=13332  z2=z1+z1/2=13332+13332/2=19998 n2=2 n1=2 1111=2222  a=z2/n1=19998/1111=18 d
b=z1/n2=13332/2222=6 d
c=z2/n2=19998/2222=9 d
