x=15000/1200

x=12.5

Answer 2

The provisions will last now for 12.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 1000 men have provisions for 15 days

200 more men join them

So, No. of men = 1000+200 = 1200

Let x be the no. days will the provisions last now

So, ATQ

$1000 \times 15 = 1200 \times x \\\frac{1000 \times 15}{1200}=x\\12.5=x$

Hence the provisions will last now for 12.5 days
