Answer:
150 men, each eating three meals a day, eat 450 meals daily. There are 40 days worth of food, so 450 x 40 = 18000 meals in total.
But, the number of men is reduced to 120.
That is only 360 meals daily that is needed.
There are still 18000 meals in total ÷ 360 = 50.
The food will last for 50 days.
The other way of looking at it is that since the 150 men were reduced by 20%, you can increase the amount of food by 20%, giving you the same answer of 50 days.
