Answer 2

$\huge \mathscr \blue{Answer}$

$\tt{It \: will \: take \: 16 \: days. }$

$\mathscr \blue{Step-by-step \: \: explanation}$

$\tt{We \: first \: find \: the \: rate \: that \: each \: child \: eats}$$\tt{eggs\: at. \: 30 \: eggs \: in \: 12 \: days \: = \: \frac{30}{12} \: = \: \frac{5}{2}\:for}$$\tt{all \: 8\:children. \: Dividing \: this \: by \: 8 \: to \: find}$$\tt{ the \: rate \: per\:child, }$

$\tt{ \frac{5}{2} \: \div \: \frac{8}{1} \: = \: \frac{5}{2} \: \times \: \frac{1}{8} \: = \: \frac{5}{16}}$

$\tt{Multiply \: this \: rate \: per \: child \: by \: the \: number}$$\tt{of \: children: }$

$\tt{ \frac{5}{16}(16) \: = \: \frac{30}{16} }$

$\bf{30 \: eggs \: would \: be \: eaten \: in \: 16 \: days. }$
