Answer:

Five days

Explanation:

First, we have to find out how much food they ate:

240 - 180 = 60

Now, we have to find out the number of days they would take to eat 60 pounds of food. We can do that by dividing:

60/12 = 5

They took five days to have 180 pounds leftover.

240-180=60 so 60 divided by 12= 5 so it took 5 days
