Problem 13
If 
cows give 
cans of milk in 
days, how many days will it take 
cows to give 
cans of milk?
Solution
First, the problem states:
cows 
cans 
days Multiply the current number of cows by 
to get the number of cows you want, and divide the number of days by the same amount because an increase in cows will cause a decrease in time.
Finally, multiply the current amount of cans by 
to get the number of cans you want, and multiply the number of days by the same amount because an increase in cans will cause an increase in time.
Therefore, our answer is
