Answer:

Carl needs 7 pairs of jeans and 14 shirts for 14 days camp trip.

Explanation:

Carl needs to take 2 pairs of jeans and 4 shirts for every 4 days he spends at camp.

Let x be the number of jeans and y the number of shirts Carl needs for 14 days at camp.

Relation 1:


(x)/(14)= (2)/(4)

=>
4x=28

x = 7

Relation 2:


(y)/(14)= (4)/(4)

=>
4y=56

y = 14

Hence, Carl needs 7 pairs of jeans and 14 shirts for 14 days camp trip.

Carl needs 1/2 pair of jeans per day and 1 shirt per day. If he does no laundry, he will require
(1/2 jeans/day)*(14 days) = 7 jeans
(1 shirt/day)*(14 days) = 14 shirts

Carl needs to pack 7 pairs of jeans and 14 shirts.
