    A group of campers have 250 pounds of food. They plan to eat 12 pounds a day. How many days will it take them to eat the food. Write your answer in a linear equation.

    Let the number of days be d. We have the following equation:
    12d = 250

    To solve for d, we type this equation in our search engine and we get:
    d = 20.833
