Question

Говорят,что для того,чтобы узнать человека,надо съесть с ним пуд(16 кг) соли. Хватит ли тебе 11 лет,чтобы хорошо узнать своего друга,если дневная норма потребления соли 5 грамм?

Answer 1

Хватит,
5*365=1825г соли в год
1825*11=20075 г=20 кг75 г -за 11 лет

Answer 2

Understanding the Salt Consumption Analogy

The saying "to know a person, you must eat a peck of salt with him" suggests that it takes a significant amount of time and shared experiences to truly understand someone. In this case, a "peck of salt" is often interpreted as a large amount, such as 16 kilograms. However, the daily recommended salt consumption is much lower, at 5 grams per day.

Calculating Time Required to Consume a Peck of Salt

To calculate the time required to consume a peck of salt at the daily recommended consumption rate, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Time (in days)} = \frac{\text{Amount of salt (in grams)}}{\text{Daily consumption rate (in grams)}} \]

Using this formula, we can calculate the time required.

\[ \text{Time (in days)} = \frac{16,000,000 \text{ grams}}{5 \text{ grams/day}} \]

\[ \text{Time (in days)} = 3,200,000 \text{ days} \]

Time Required to Consume a Peck of Salt

Given that the daily recommended consumption rate of salt is 5 grams per day, it would take approximately 3,200,000 days to consume a peck of salt, which is equivalent to 8,767 years. Therefore, it would not be feasible to consume a peck of salt within 11 years to get to know someone well, based on the analogy.

This calculation is based on the assumption that the saying refers to a large amount of salt, such as 16 kilograms, and the daily recommended salt consumption rate is 5 grams per day.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the analogy of consuming a peck of salt to get to know someone well suggests a significant amount of time and shared experiences. However, based on the daily recommended salt consumption rate, it would not be feasible to consume a peck of salt within 11 years. Therefore, the analogy may not hold true in a literal sense when applied to the daily consumption rate of salt.
