During the first world war, the food ministry was created in Britain to ration food products. During the second world war, the food ration for one week was, eggs, fats, cheese, and bacon.
Everyone had to have a ration book and per week to get their food supply and the deliverers have to stamp the book to show they had their amount of food for that week
Everyone was issued with a ration book full of coupons. They would take the booklet to the shops and use the coupons to be able to buy the food that they were allowed and the quantity they were allowed that week or day. then once that coupon was used it would be taken out of the book so that they could not keep buying more and more, therefore making the rationing more organised.
Coupon books that alloted only a certain amount of gas, sugar, flour..basic staples that were needed by all to be bought in a given.. Normally you could apply for new books on a monthly basis.AnswerTrivia about gasoline rationing in the U.S. : Vehicles were classified according use, with specific amounts of fuel per week allowed for each classification, A, B, C, T, or X. (Some classifications were allowed unlimited supplies.) The purpose of gasoline rationing was to conserve rubber, not fuel.

Either that or 1939 to 1945 never happened
rationing worked by them being given little of food each day and they ticked it off in there ration book so they could not buy the same thing again that week.
Every member of the family, including a child, had to adhere to the same ration during the week, such as 2 ounces of cheese. Children took VIROL, a malt extract, to make sure they had proper vitamins.
food was limited, and everyone wanted and needed their fair share of food, so the dispenser/shop owner would see what youd had that week and would give you your fair share.
Eggs came off ration in March of 1953. Food rationing happened during the war when there was a shortage of food. Family size determined the amount of food you got each week or month. One shell egg a week was allowed if available but it could drop to one every two weeks.
yup
So people don't run out of certain food, rationing told you how much of eggs for example you can have a day, week or other period of time, if you didn't follow the rationing rules, the shops would run out of food and you wouldn't get any for a while
7 days
About a week.
