24 and Ted is 6.

    32 days
  4. D
    48 days
  5. E
    36 days

Correct Answer:
C
Reggie will be using flour at 5/4 the normal rate. Since the amount of flour used is inversely proportional to the amount of time it takes to go through the flour, the duration can be found by multiplying 40 by the inverse of 5/4, or 4/5.
