Cat eats 3 large cans of food every eight days. How many cans in 24 days?

Question

Cat eats 3 large cans of food a day. How many cans dose it eat in 24 days?

Answer 1

If the cat eats 3 cans of food every 8 days, in 24 days it will eat 3 times as many = 9 cans.

If it eats 3 cans in one day, it would eat 3*24=72 in 24 days. Fat cat!

The title of the question and the context don't match so the question is ambiguous, hence the two possible answers!

Answer 2

9 cans
