They would not last long! A fit adult can only last 4 days without water and a week without food! A child would probley only last 3 days. I hoped this helped you undersatnd better.

I'm not sure how long you could live, but it isn't good to not eat or drink. Fasting is good to cleanse the body but you need to drink water or something that will keep you hydrated. I think if you're a child & want to do this for religious reason you need to talk to your parents or Dr. before starting any kind of fast.

People can live at least a month without food. Only a few days without water.
I fasted once for ten days. Seven days on juice and three on water. It was a neat experience but, I woulnd't recommend a water fast without supervision.

A month. Maybe less. Your body will go into shock after about a week without water. So actually maybe a few weeks. Don't try though.

less than a week for sure. the average person can barely survive a week without water. you body is made up of mostly water, so just use you logic on this one.

Probably between 48-72 hrs, depending on activity level, temperature, shade etc...

nicely.. iam uncertain.. approximately nutrition.. yet water.. would be inposible due that the human physique is extra often than not water.... and if the physique isn't rehydrated.. it is going to in all possibility be that the guy dies.....
