Answer:

6 monkeys

Step-by-step explanation:

8 monkeys eat 8 bananas in 8 mins---how many monkeys eat 6 bananas in 6 mins?

that means each monkey takes 1 min for one bananer so i think 6 monkeys

24 Doughnut will be eaten by 8 students in 9 minutes. 8 monkeys will eat 6 bananas in 6 mins.

Given,

Two students can eat 4 doughnuts in 6 minutes.

On taking time constant (say 6 min), 2 student eat 4 doughnuts,

So 1 student eat 2 doughnuts each in 6 minutes.

So, in 1 minute doughnut eaten by 1 student will be  [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex].

So, in 9 minute doughnut eaten by 1 student will be [tex](\frac{2}{6} \times 9=3)[/tex]

Finally, in 9 minute doughnut eaten by 8 student  will be [tex](3\times 8=24)[/tex].

Hence 24 Doughnut will be eaten by 8 students in 9 minutes.

Similarly,

Since 8 monkeys eat 8 bananas in 8 mins.

On taking time constant, 8 monkeys eat 8 bananas.

So, 1 monkey eat 1 banana in 8 min.

So, in 1 min 1 monkey will eat [tex](\frac{1}{8} )[/tex] banana.

So, 1 banana will be eaten by 8 monkeys in 1 min.

So, 6 banana will be eaten by [tex](8\times 6=48)[/tex] monkeys in 1 min.

Finally, the number of monkeys required to  eat 6 bananas in 6 min will be,

[tex]\dfrac{48}{6} =8[/tex].

Therefore 8 monkeys will eat 6 bananas in 6 mins.
