Final answer:

To find out how many days 3/4 of the tortillas will last, we can set up a proportion using the given information. By solving the proportion, we find that 3/4 of tortillas will last for 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many days 3/4 of the tortillas will last, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

Let's assume that the total number of tortillas is represented by 'x'.

We know that 2 bags of tortillas are used every day, so in 'x' number of days, 2x bags of tortillas will be used.

According to the question, 3/4 of tortillas should last 'x' number of days. So, we can set up the proportion: 2x / x = 3/4.

To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply: 2x * 4 = x * 3. Simplifying, we get 8x = 3x. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 8.

Therefore, 3/4 of tortillas will last for 8 days.
