Answer 1

`(666)/(888)= (3)/(4)`


`12* (3)/(4)=9`

Answer 2

Answer: He should pack 9 elf bread for a 12 day trip.

Explanation:

Since, The number of loaves of el bread he used to pack for 8 days trip = 6

⇒ The number of loaves of el bread he used to pack for 1 days trip =
`(6)/(8)`

⇒ The number of loaves of el bread he used to pack for 12 days trip

`=12* (6)/(8)`

`=(72)/(8)=9`

Hence, he should pack 9 elf bread for a 12 day trip.
