Answer:

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
