Question

125 men have food provision for 160 days. How long wil it last if the number of men becomes 150​

Answer 1

Answer:

133$\frac{1}{3}$ days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the food consumed by 1 man in 1 day be denoted as "manday"

125 men have food enough for 160 days.

=> The food provision is worth 125*160 mandays

=> The food provision is worth 20,000 mandays

The number of men becomes 150

Let the number of days that the food lasts be "x"

=> 150 * x = 20000

=> x = 20,000/150

=> x = 133.33

The food will last for 133$\frac{1}{3}$ days
