117 Mr. Turtle, Mrs. Squirrel and Ms. Pigeon work at the Magic Forest's post office. Mr. Turtle can
deliver a package from the Southern Glade to the Northern Glade in 3 days, while Ms. Pigeon can
deliver it in 30 minutes. How much time will the same job take Mrs. Squirrel, if the ratio of Mr.
Turtle's time to the Mrs. Squirrel's time is the same as the ratio of Mrs. Squirrel's time to Ms.
Pigeon's time?

Answer :

The proportion shows that the time taken to do the same job by Mrs. Squirrel is 6 hours.

How to calculate the value?

From the information given, the ratios are:

Turtle / Squirrel = Squirrel / Pigeon

3/x = x/(1/48)

x² = 1/16

x = 1/4

The number of days will be:

= 1/4 × 24

= 6 hours.
