Rationed for Dummies

Rationed means that you only have a certain amount of something, and you have to use it carefully and make it last for a specific period of time. Imagine you have a box of candies, and your mom tells you that you can only have one candy every day. She wants you to ration the candies so that they don't run out too quickly. So, you have to carefully decide when and how to eat each candy, making sure not to eat them all at once. This can also happen with other things, not just candies. For example, during a camping trip, you might have a limited amount of food and water. You need to ration these resources, or you will run out before the trip is over. It's similar to when you take a snack to school and you only have a few cookies or chips. You want them to last the whole day, so you don't eat them all at once. Rationing helps to make sure everyone gets a fair share and that there is enough to go around for everyone. So, when something is rationed, it means you have to use it carefully and make it last.
