Answer:
3 loaves of Bread is consumed by 9 people
9 loaves of Bread is consumed by x people
This can be solved in 3 ways
You can choose the one which suits best for your answer
Method 1 (Easy Method)
3 loaves = 9 people
9 loaves = 9 × 3
= 27 people
27 people can consume 9 loaves of bread
Method 2 (Advanced Method)
If the statement was in direct proportion, we can do this
3/9 = 9/x
So,
9×9/3 = x
81/3 = x
27 = x
27 people can consume 9 loaves of bread
Method 3 (Unitary Method)
We first find, how many people can eat 1 loaf of bread
9÷3 = 3 people
Now, we multiply the answer with the number of loaves
3 × 9 = 27 people
27 people can consume 9 loaves of bread
