Ask Dr. Math



Got a chance to roll up my sleeves and do a little math this evening with Susie and Samantha (Childers, for those of you outside the family). We solved the problem - let's see if you can:
How many bearers must an explorer bring with him if they have to cross a barren wasteland (a 6 day journey) and each of them can only carry 4 days worth of food and water (nobody is allowed to die on the way & you must explain how this can be done)?
