See a solution process below:
Explanation:
If 40 ants can eat one pie in two hours, then if we divide the number of ants in half it will take twice as long for them to eat the pies:
Therefore,
20 ants an eat one pie in 4 hours.
We can now triple the number of pies and triple the number of ants to give:
60 ants can eat three pies in 4 hours
