Answer: He would lose 40 pencils in 60 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of days = 3
Number of lost pencils = 2
If the number of days = 60
Then, the number of lost pencils would be 'x'.
Since there is direct variation between number of days and number of lost pencils.
So, it would be
[tex]\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{60}{x}\\\\3x=60\times 2\\\\x=\dfrac{120}{3}\\\\x=40[/tex]
Hence, he would lose 40 pencils in 60 days.
