We can solve this question using equivalent ratios
Would use the ratio: liters of water/number of monkeys sustained
We'll let x = number of monkeys 16 liters of water can sustain
So we can write: 9/5 = 16/x
Cross multiply to get: 9x = (5)(16)
Simplify to get: 9x = 80
Divide both sides by 9 to get x = 80/9 = 8.something
This tells us that 16 liters of water CANNOT sustain 9 monkeys
So the maximum number of monkeys that CAN be sustained by 16 liters of water is 8
Answer: B
