Luke and 5 friends packed enough food for a 2-week canoe trip. If one extra person decided to go on the trip at the last minute, how long will the food last?

Luke and 5 friends = 6 people.

2 weeks = 14 days, so the food lasts 6 people * 14 days = 84 days

One extra person on the trip means 6 + 1 = 7 people.

84 days of food / 7 people = 12 days
