Question
Hi! U will find this question stupid but it's been on my mind for half a day and i've consulted my friends as well and we don't have the same answer.Here it is: If two mice can eat two crackers in two minutes, how many mice will it take to eat 18 crackers in six minutes?
  Thank you very much!  

Answer
according to the ration, 1 mouse : 1 cracker : 1 minute

so it would take 18 mice : 18 crackers : 18 minutes

But you want it done in 3rd the time, so i would think you would have to triple the mouse ratio, and you would get

54 mice to be your answer.
