Step-by-step explanation:

The food will only be sufficient for 15 days

Answer 2

Answer:

15days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be 'x'

No. of students     250                   250+50 = 300

Time(in days)         18 days             X

According to inverse proportion

x*y = k

Thus,     250*18 = 300*x

             x = 250*18/300

             x = 4500/300

             x = 15

Answer: The food will only be sufficient for 15 days.
