Question

10. If 500 kg of food lasts 40 days for 30 men, how many men will consume 675 kg of food in
45 days?​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 men

Step-by-step explanation:

• since 30 man eats 500kg in 40 days,

30 man will eat 500/40 = 12.5kg in 1 day

• 1 man will eat 12.5/30 kg in 1 day (impt)

• now let x men eats 675kg in 45 days

• x ( 12.5/30 ) 45 = 675

• solving for x we get x = 36 men
