Question

150 men have enough food for 40 days. How long the food will last for 200 men

Answer 1

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.

x = 8000 / 150

So , x = 53.33 i . e . 53 days
