Answer:
The answer is
210 candies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of children
Let c represent the number of candies
The above variation is written as
[tex]c = \frac{k}{n} [/tex]
when n = 12 c = 140
So we have
[tex]140 = \frac{k}{12} [/tex]
Cross multiply
That's
k = 1680
So the formula for the variation is
[tex]c = \frac{1680}{n} [/tex]
when n = 8
[tex]c = \frac{1680}{8} [/tex]
c = 210
Therefore there are 210 candies consumed when there are 8 children
