If seven hundred ants can make seven ant hills in seven days, How long will it take for 100 ants to make 1 ant hill? Don't look at the answer below

1 day? Because 700:7:7=100:1:?... So it's 1 right? I'm not sure with my answer. ^__^

swirz you got to think harder, that is actually 7 anthills in (7 x 700) 4900 ant-days so the ratio you gave will not be true.

Well let's see. To simplify the first part, it takes 700 ants one day to make one ant hill. So it would take 100 ants probably 7 days to make 1 ant hill. Am I right on this? The answer would be 7 days.

you are absolutely right, its 7 ant hills per 4900 ant-days (7 x 700) or 1 anthill in 700 ant-days, so if there are 100 ants it would take 7 days (to get 700 ant-days, 7 x 100), if you want to have 350 ants it will take 2 days. thanks for the response
